Big Mac Sauce is one of the reasons people buy the big mac, but little did you know, it's so easy to make it! Most of the ingredients are probably already in your fridge and pantry!

This Copycat Big Mac Sauce is delicious on a Big Mac Lettuce wrap, in a Big Mac Salad, or on burgers, fries, or whatever you want! Whip up a batch and keep it in the fridge to use as needed!

I absolutely loved this sauce on these Air Fryer Hamburgers and also Air Fryer Fish!

I love trying copycat sauces such as the delicious ZAX SAUCE, In-n-Out Sauce, or Outback Bloomin' Onion Sauce!

Making Big Mac Sauce is so easy and it only contains a few ingredients. If you look at the ingredient list from McDonalds, there will be tons of ingredients (33 to be exact) that you won't recognize like, 'Spice Extractives, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), and Vegetable Protein,' just to name a few. What are these things?!??!

I love to know what's actually in the food I'm eating, so figuring out how to make Big Mac Sauce without all the scary ingredients was a must for me, and not too difficult.

I tried various recipes I found online, but nothing seemed quite right. After tweaking things multiple times, I found the best copycat big mac sauce recipe!

  • Add mayonnaise, relish, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and seasonings. Whisk to combine well.
  • Place covered in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve as desired, shaking/stirring before using, and store covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using.
