The creamy, gently sweet-and-tangy, slightly spicy American sauce served on a Big Mac: mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, vinegar, garlic, onion, and paprika.
Ingredients
- 180 g American mayonnaise or mild jarred mayonnaise
- 45 g American sweet pickle relish
- 25 g American yellow mustard
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 2 g garlic powder
- 3 g onion powder
- 2 g ground sweet paprika
Method
- Place the mayonnaise in a chilled bowl and whisk until smooth, supple, glossy, and lump-free.
- Add the well-drained sweet pickle relish. Mix with a spatula to keep the small pieces visible: the sauce should remain creamy with a slight pickle grain, not become perfectly smooth.
- Stir in the American yellow mustard, then the white vinegar. Whisk gently, without beating too hard, until the color becomes pale yellow and uniform.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and sweet paprika evenly over the surface to prevent clumps. Mix thoroughly with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Taste the sauce: it should be creamy, mild, tangy, slightly sweet, with a discreet onion and paprika finish. If it seems too thick, loosen it with a very small touch of white vinegar; if it seems too sharp, let it rest rather than correcting it immediately.
- Cover the surface and refrigerate. Let it rest in the cold until the powders hydrate and the flavor becomes even; the sauce is ready when the raw onion aroma rounds out and the texture clearly coats a spoon.
- Stir once more before serving. Spread the cold sauce generously on a burger bun, a beef patty, shredded lettuce, pickles, and chopped onions, or use it as a classic burger condiment.
