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.

skinnymixer's Big N Special Burger Sauce
Prep Time2 mins
Cook Time4 mins
Total Time6 mins
Ingredients
- 60 g dill pickles roughly chopped
- 10 g honey
- 1/2 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 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.

July 6, 2018 at 7:17 pmA-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!!

June 28, 2018 at 7:25 pmYou 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

June 26, 2018 at 9:32 amIs dill pickles the same as dill cucumbers? That’s all I can find on my Coles online search
Angelique says
June 24, 2018 at 12:37 pmI 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

June 20, 2018 at 11:07 amWhat would you sub the honey for so that it is LCHF?
Wendy says
June 20, 2018 at 6:32 amRandom question do you need to buy specific oil brand? Does brand determine the taste?
Anonymous says
June 20, 2018 at 11:15 pmI think it needs to be a light tasting oil

Tennielle Barron says
June 19, 2018 at 6:22 pmHey 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 😂😂
Sian says
June 19, 2018 at 6:52 pmNormally off 🙂
Tennielle Barron says
June 19, 2018 at 7:00 pmOk, great. Thanks Sian 😊
Marissa says
June 29, 2018 at 8:05 amI leave it on and let it drizzle through the gap I find that easier
