Big Mac Salad Dressing. You can always have a run of the mill Big Mac salad or a boring burger, but if the day calls for something more exciting, make a quick sauce that will satisfy even the pickiest critic. My Big Mac salad dressing is creamy and zesty with a touch of smokey loveliness that is just what the chef recommends.
Grab a few fridge and pantry staples, and within minutes, you’ll have a special dressing and sauce that is fantastic on everything!

Personally, I keep my version of the Big Mac salad dressing keto/low-carb by using no sugar added ketchup and dill pickle relish. For this version, drizzle the dressing on a bed of greens, along with a scoop of hamburger meat, a sprinkling of bacon and cheese, and whatever else makes your heart happy. Also, let's not forget it takes literal minutes to throw together. Rufus calls this healthy food in a hurry.
Not into salads? Use the sauce to amp up your weekend burger. Just think, a buttery toasted bun, slathered with the tangy sauce...so good it'll make your tongue smack your brain! Also, if is was just me, I would throw in a dash of cayenne to spice things up. Incorporate what you like and you do you, boo!
ingredients
You need just a few things to make one of my all-time favorite dressings!
- Mayonnaise - The creamy component
- Dill Pickle Relish - I love dill pickles, but use sweet relish if you prefer.
- Yellow Mustard - For the tangy bite.
- Ketchup - For a hint of sweetness.
- Smoked Paprika - Gives the dressing a touch of smoky depth.
- Kosher Salt - A must-have.
- Fresh Ground Pepper - Grind it yourself. Soooo much better!
