Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always try to use fresh mayo, ketchup, and mustard for the best flavor. The quality of the ingredients directly affects how good the sauce will taste.
  • Adjust the Pickle Flavor: If you love pickles, add extra pickle juice or finely chopped pickles to make the sauce even more tangy. If you're not as fond of pickles, just use a little bit for a subtle hint.
  • Make it Ahead: This sauce can be made in advance! In fact, it tastes even better after sitting for a few hours in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Spicy Twist: If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. This will add a spicy kick that pairs wonderfully with the richness of the burger.
  • Use a Quality Bun: A great sauce deserves a great bun! Opt for fresh, soft burger buns to hold all the flavors together and give the sauce a sturdy base.
