Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (natural)

Tangy & Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (natural)

Texture Adjustment

  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Gather and Measure: Begin by assembling all your ingredients and measuring them precisely. Accuracy ensures the balance of flavors stays true to the classic taste.
  2. Combine the Creamy Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise and yellow mustard (natural) until they form a smooth blend. This forms the rich canvas for your sauce.
  3. Add the Tangy Elements: Stir in the apple cider vinegar (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). These ingredients lend the sauce its bright, tangy punch and umami depth.
  4. Mix in Flavor Boosters: Incorporate the sweet pickle relish (natural), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and paprika (natural). Mix until everything is evenly distributed for the perfect seasoning balance.
  5. Adjust Texture: If needed, gently stir in a small amount of the natural gelling agent to achieve that ideal creamy, clingy texture that coats burgers without dripping off.
  6. Chill and Marinate: Cover the sauce and let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating that authentic Big Mac Sauce experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices and quality plant-based mayonnaise to enhance overall flavor.
  • Allow the sauce to chill for at least one hour to deepen flavor.
  • Add natural gelling agent sparingly to achieve perfect thickness without heaviness.
  • Adjust vinegar and relish amounts gradually to maintain balance without overpowering tang.
  • Store the sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
