Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Pinch of fresh black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), apple cider vinegar, and black pepper.
- Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the sauce is completely smooth and all spices are thoroughly incorporated. Make sure there are no lumps.
- For best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. Serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra zing, try adding a teaspoon of pickle juice from your relish jar. This sauce isn’t just for smash burgers – it’s phenomenal on turkey burgers, hot dogs, crispy fries, chicken sandwiches, or even as a dip for onion rings! Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
