Copy Cat Vegan Big Mac Special Sauce!
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce cheese, pickles, onions…all on a sesame seed bun! Who else remembers that little McD’s jingle from the late 80’s? Although it’s been two decades since I’ve had a Big Mac I can still remember the first one that I ate…on a Saturday morning, with my dad and my brother circa 1990…but let’s be real, all we really wanted to do was play on the playground!
One thing about my Pops is how much he loves burgers...specifically Big Macs, so I knew if I was going to convince him to try a plant-based burger it would be my "Big Moc" that would do the trick. Let's just say it was a huge success...so much so that he requested I make him a bulk batch of my "Moc Sauce" to keep in the fridge. #plantbasedwin
What you are going to need to buy:
Vegan Mayo - (We like THIS ONE from Hellman’s…who knew?)
Ketchup
Mustard
Relish, chopped fine
Minced Garlic - (we like these jarred options from Spice World!)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Vinegar (Optional)
White Sugar (Optional)
Onion Powder
What you are going to need to do:
You guys, this is so easy! In a bowl combine the following ingredients!
1/3 cup of Mayo
3 tablespoons of Ketchup
1 tablespoon of Mustard
2 tablespoons of relish
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic plus a splash of the oil/juice that the garlic is packed in
Onion Powder, salt and pepper, to taste.
Note: Depending on how you like your sauce you can also add a splash of vinegar and some white sugar. I preferred to add a bit more relish if I wanted it more sweet or a bit more mustard if I wanted it more tangy!
Store in the fridge, in an airtight jar or container, for up to 3 weeks…but trust me, it won’t last that long!
Enjoy!
