The iconic Big Mac sauce has a distinct flavor that many people love. To make a keto-friendly version, you’ll want to use low-carb ingredients to replicate the taste without the added sugars. Here’s a recipe for a keto-friendly Big Mac sauce:
Keto-Friendly Big Mac Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably made with avocado oil or another keto-friendly oil)
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish (ensure it’s sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow, depending on your preference)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons of a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia (to mimic the slight sweetness of the original sauce)
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you want a slight sweetness similar to the original sauce, add your chosen keto-friendly sweetener a little at a time, tasting as you go.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and place the sauce in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Serve: Use the sauce on your keto-friendly burgers or as a dip for low-carb vegetables.
Remember, the key to a keto-friendly version of any recipe is to closely examine each ingredient for hidden carbs and sugars. Always check the nutritional information of store-bought items (like pickle relish) to ensure they align with your dietary needs. (5% rule)
