Ingredients for Burger Sauce

• Mayonnaise – Use full fat as the base of this sweet, tangy sauce.
• Ketchup – Adds a tang as well as a sweetness to this sauce that balance out the strong flavors of the burger.
• Yellow mustard – Prepared yellow mustard gives a mild bite. If you like the distinct flavor of dijon mustard, you can substitute that in.
• Seasoning – Dried minced onion and garlic powder add depth of flavor. If you do not have dried minced onion, use 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
• White vinegar – Enhances flavor while balancing the sweetness and adding some acidity.

Can I Use Vegan Mayo For Burger Sauce?

I have never personally used vegan mayonnaise for this burger sauce, but if you are cooking up some veggie burgers, I don’t see why vegan mayonnaise wouldn’t work. Let me know how it works out!

How To Serve Burger Sauce

Of course, you’ll be serving this tangy, sweet sauce alongside burgers and fries but don’t forget to try it with crispy Chicken Tenders and onion rings! Load the table with sides like classic Macaroni Salad, flavorful and delicious Bean Salad and Potato Salad. Since you’ll be firing up the grill for those burgers, add some spuds to make Twice Baked Potatoes, too. Of course, no burger night is complete without classic Bread and Butter Pickles that are made in your refrigerator. You’ll impress everyone and there are no canning skills needed.
