With the 50 year celebration of the Big Mac filling our bellies and clogging our hearts, I thought it was the perfect time for me to tackle reverse engineering the Golden Arches special sauce. Moving towards a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the essence of your favourite treat meals – I recommend whipping up a batch of the Breakfast Sausage Patties in The Healthy Mix II and serving as a salad, or even on my Low Carb Burger Buns.

Author: skinnymixer's
Recipe type: Condiment
Ingredients
- 60 g | 2.1 oz dill pickles, roughly chopped
- 10 g | 0.3 oz honey
- ½ Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard, room temperature
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground sweet paprika
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- decent pinch of salt
- 125 g | 4.4 oz avocado oil from Costco or light tasting olive oil
Instructions
- Add pickles to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 5/MC on. Scrape down and repeat if necessary.
- Insert butterfly. Add rest of ingredients, except oil, to mixer bowl and combine for 1 min/37 degrees/speed 3/MC on.
- Set timer for 3 min/37°C or 100°F/speed 3 and very slowly drizzle in oil, taking the full three minutes to do so. This sauce will thicken in the fridge if desired. If you store it in a sterilised glass jar, it will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Light tasting oils perfect for mayo - Costco Avocado Oil, Light Tasting Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil and Rice Bran Oil.
Oils that are too strong for mayo - stronger tasting Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Avocado Oil from health food shops, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi.
VEGAN VARIATION: Omit egg and oil. Replace with 160 g shop bought compliant mayo. This is also perfect if you are pregnant.
KETO VARIATION: Replace honey with 1 pinch natvia.

we made this on the weekend and it was DELISH! reminded me also of the Bettys Burgers burger sauce.
this will be on the list every time we have burgers!!
YUM! Thank you so much Nik. This sauce is divine
At 1st i wasnt amazed but after i let it sit in the fridge for a while i fell in love. Sad part is im out of Avocado oil so until i can stock more from costco making more will be put in hold. Can not wait to remake it
A-freaking-mazing!!!
Couldn’t wait for it to chill and it was awesome on my chicken cauli wraps. Left kids at the table dipping veggies into it. I wouldn’t be surprised to come back to an empty bowl.
Thanks Nik!!
OMG….how amazing is this sauce!! My gluten free and dairy free family LOVED this tonight on homemade gf buns….my 8 year old son said he was in love with this sauce 😍🤤
Can’t seem to find by butterfly whisk. Will this work with out it?
I made it without Butterfly- no problem.
So much like the real deal. Great recipe
Amazing!!! Exceeded my expectations!
I don’t eat Maccas at all But made this last night for hiemade burgers and LOVED It. hubby is a big mac fan and he was over impressed wth this sauce. Thanks Nik xx
That should say home made
You are a bloody genius Nik. I have missed out on Big Macs since becoming GF and DF some years ago. I made this today and had it with the breakfast patties. OMG. Thank you
Is dill pickles the same as dill cucumbers? That’s all I can find on my Coles online search
I just wanted to share my version of this for people who are vegan or can’t have egg in their diet. You can still make this sauce!
Instead of 1tsp paprika only use ½ tsp
Add ½ tsp turmeric
I used Cobram light olive oil but only used 50g as I found 125g was too oily…
Follow the rest of the recipe as is…
Hope this helps some people
Is that what you replace the eggs with?
Has anyone tried this in the Cuisine Companion??
Is there anything I can substitute for the egg please?
what I can substitute honey to make it lchf?
Any suggestions on a substitute for honey to make it lchf?
Just omit the honey or add some other sweetener like natvia
What is a butterfly
It’s a whisking attatchment to the thermomix 😊
What would you sub the honey for so that it is LCHF?
Random question do you need to buy specific oil brand? Does brand determine the taste?
I think it needs to be a light tasting oil
Cant wait to make this as i have made the bigmac sauce at home many times but i like the ingredients in this one so looking forward to tasting it! As always thanks for shating your wisdom Nik! ☺
Sharing your wisdom…oops
Hahhhha……
This made my morning hahahaha
HAHAHA! 🙂 so good
How long would this last in fridge?
5 days says in last step
Do you think you could freeze this???
Hey Nik, when adding the oil do you leave the MC in so it slowly drizzles through the gaps or just pour straight in very slowly?
I always seem to pour too fast so I’m worries I’ll bugger it up purely because I’ll be too impatient to try 😂😂
Normally off 🙂
Ok, great. Thanks Sian 😊
I leave it on and let it drizzle through the gap I find that easier
