Preparation
What is big mac sauce?
This is a copycat recipe of the tangy sauce that comes on a Big Mac sandwich at McDonald’s. It’s great for dipping or topping!
Can big mac sauce be made ahead of time?
Yes, this is actually better if made ahead. Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise in big mac sauce?
For a healthier version, try swapping all or some of the mayo for plain Greek yogurt. Yogurt is definitely tangier than mayo, so taste it before adding the vinegar. You may decide it doesn’t need any.
Storage and leftovers
How long does big mac sauce last?
This will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure to store it in a sealed air-tight container for best results.
Can you freeze big mac sauce?
We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Tips and tricks
✅ Add a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper to make it spicy.
✅ Use smoked paprika for a smokier finish.
✅ Swap the mayo for Greek yogurt for a lower calorie, higher protein option.
✅ Use as a dipping sauce, top your favorite burger or use it on our favorite big mac meatloaf or cheeseburger quesadillas!
