FAQ ❓

What can you use instead of relish in Big Mac sauce?

Relish is a sweet-and-sour pickle preparation that is widely used in the United States. If you don't have any, replace it with sweet pickles, very finely chopped. This will give you the sweet-and-tangy flavor that makes Big Mac burger sauce so distinctive.

Can you buy McDonald's Big Mac sauce?

Big Mac sauce in a tube is sometimes available as a limited edition in some large supermarkets (Carrefour, Amazon, Rakuten), but it is rare. The easiest and most economical option is to make it at home using our easy recipe and everyday ingredients.

What kind of mustard should you use to make Big Mac sauce?

The traditional recipe uses American mustard (also called Yellow Mustard), which is milder than French mustard and lightly colored with turmeric. If you can't find it, you can use regular mustard, preferably a mild one, to stay close to the original flavor.

Can you store homemade Big Mac sauce?

Yes, homemade Big Mac sauce will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Since it contains mayonnaise, be sure to keep it chilled and not leave it at room temperature. Stir before using to bring back its creamy texture.

Is Big Mac sauce the same as classic burger sauce?

Not quite. Big Mac sauce is milder, sweeter, and tangier than classic burger sauces, which are often more strongly flavored. It is also creamier thanks to the mayonnaise and relish, giving it the distinctive, addictive flavor that made it so popular.
