Epicurious Not-So-Secret Sauce

This homemade burger sauce is a game-changer for your next barbecue or mid-week meal. A clever blend of creamy mayonnaise, tangy ketchup, and sharp yellow mustard, it recreates that iconic fast-food flavour with just a handful of store-cupboard ingredients. The addition of spicy pickle juice and smoked paprika provides a sophisticated depth of flavour and a gentle heat that cuts through rich, savoury dishes perfectly.

As a versatile dairy-free condiment, this sauce is excellent for more than just topping a classic minced beef patty. Try it as a dip for golden oven-baked chips, drizzled over a crisp wedge salad, or even as a zingy spread for a fried chicken sandwich. It takes less than five minutes to prepare and keeps well in the fridge, making it an essential recipe for effortless entertaining.
