About this recipe.
This is a recipe I developed as a kid and long before I started writing this blog. I worked for two days as a teenager at McDonald’s before I learned it just wasn’t for me.
Still, I managed to take a bottle of special sauce home with me and went to work trying to recreate it. It wasn’t easy as I had never heard of most of the ingredients. It was obvious that there was mayonnaise in it and the label stated that it contained mustard, garlic, onion and vinegar.
I think at the time, I added ketchup but that wasn’t on the label. The reddish colour comes from paprika. You could try adding a little ketchup but it isn’t needed for that famous flavour Big Mac sauce flavour.
What kind of pickle relish do you use?
The pickles you use in this recipe are dill pickles or dill pickle relish. Dill pickle relish and pickles are widely available in the UK.
In the UK, they are a bit more difficult to find. You can use sweet pickles or sweet pickle relish if you are unable to get dill pickles. If using sweet pickles, don’t add any sugar unless you taste it first and decide you want a sweeter flavour.
