Instructions

Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Use a silicone spatula to mix until well-combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 1-2 hours for the flavors to sufficiently meld. Stir before using.
Serve with Big Mac Salad, in Burgers, Tuna Melts, Wraps, Chicken Nuggets, Baked Chicken Tenders, Fried Chicken Tenders, with French Fries, Onion Rings, Fried Pickles, and more!

Notes

Pro Tips:

The longer the flavors can meld together in the fridge, the better! Feel free to make the sauce a day ahead of time.
Pickles: I like to use dill pickles. After finely dicing, I place them in between paper towels to absorb excess moisture to keep the salad crisp/not soggy.

Storage:

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
