The Ultimate Burger Sauce Recipe

Dreamy burger sauce recipe using mayonnaise, mustard, onion and garlic powder, salt, pepper, chopped pickles, pickle juice and a couple dashes of piri piri hot sauce.  
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 1 /3 cup

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 dashes hot sauce
  • 1 tsp pickle juice
  • 2 whole pickled cucumbers salty, not sweet
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • Few grinds of cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Chop pickled cucumbers into small chunks.
  • Place all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix. Taste and season to taste with salt, pepper or extra hot sauce as you like.

Notes

  1. Let it rest: The flavour of the sauce will develop the longer it is left to rest.
  2. How long will it last: If sealed in an airtight jar, it will keep for a week in the fridge.
  3. Pickles: If you prefer a little touch of sweetness use sweet pickled cucumbers instead.
  4. Hot Sauce: Use your favourite hot sauce instead of piri piri. Sriracha, habanero or smoky chipotle hot sauce can be substituted.
