Correspondingly, what is McDonald's Big Mac sauce made of?
In 2012, McDonald's admitted that "thespecialsauce ingredients were not really a secret" becausetherecipe had been available online "for years". It consistsofstore-bought mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish and yellowmustardwhisked together with vinegar, garlic powder, onion powderandpaprika.
Herein, is Big Mac sauce Thousand Island?
It's basically just mayonnaise, pickle relish,mustard,spices and a bunch of sugar. The ingredients are prettysimilar tothose in this Thousand Island dressing. By theway: thenutrition label is clearly wrong. It says it has zero gramsofsugar, but the third and fourth ingredients arecornsyrup.
But at the end of the day, special sauce isacondiment in the Russian and Thousand Island dressing family,basedon the trifecta of mayo, ketchup, and sweetpicklerelish.
