Burger Sauce

Burger Sauce

This Homemade Burger Sauce truly couldn't be easier to make. What's best is you've probably got all the ingredients on hand already!

 #Burger #Sauce

Ingredients :

• 4 tbsp Full Fat Mayo
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tsp Mustard (I use Dijon, but Classic Yellow works great)
• 2 tsp Pickle Juice
• 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Sugar (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp Salt (or to taste)

Instructions:

1. Add all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to preference then tightly cover and pop in the fridge, or serve right away!

Notes:

a) Pickle Juice - This serves two functions: first is to offer the classic pairing of burger and pickle, the second is to add acidity. I prefer my burger sauce smooth, but you could sub minced pickle and a different vinegar (i.e. white vinegar). If you don't have pickles/pickle juice on hand then you can just sub any acidity you have (i.e lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar). Start with 1 tsp and adjust up. But pickle juice is definitely preferable.
b) Onion Powder - Again, I like my burger sauce smooth, hence the onion powder. You could however sub a small amount of finely minced shallot or white onion.
c) Flavour Preference - This sauce is very customisable, so do tweak to your tastebuds! I.e if you want more of a 'tangy' flavour consider upping the pickle juice, for more 'heat' consider more mustard. If you want it sweeter add a dash more sugar, or for a creamier sauce add more mayo etc.
d) Make Ahead - Making in advance and allow the sauce to rest will allow the flavours to marry together, especially if using dried onion. I usually rest my sauce for an hour before serving then keep leftovers tightly cover in the fridge for 3-4days (longer at your discretion).
e) Calories - Makes around 6 tbsp's worth, serving size is 1 tbsp. Calories for 1 tbsp using measurements in recipe card.
