Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Flavorings

2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)

Texture Agent

1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the plant-based mayonnaise, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and yellow mustard until smooth and creamy. This foundation creates the rich body needed for the perfect sauce.
Fold in Flavorings: Add the sweet pickle relish, onion powder (natural), and garlic powder (natural) to the base mixture. Stir gently to combine chunks of relish evenly throughout the sauce, creating that classic texture with bursts of flavor.
Add Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the mixture and whisk well, allowing it to thicken the sauce slightly. This step is essential to give the sauce body and the perfect spreadable texture without losing creaminess.
Chill and Blend Flavors: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period helps the flavors meld beautifully and ensures your Big Mac Sauce is every bit as flavorful as it looks.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality mayonnaise (plant-based) and genuine vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for the best flavor.
Refrigerate sauce to help thicken and blend flavors perfectly.
Adjust sweetness by adding more relish or a touch of natural sweetener as desired.
Fold relish gently to keep its texture intact rather than mixing vigorously.
Make the sauce a day ahead for deeper flavor complexity and convenience.
