- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and vinegar.

Notes
While the traditional Big Mac sauce does not contain ketchup, its inclusion enriches the flavor significantly. For a smoky twist, a splash of barbecue sauce can be added. To introduce heat, consider incorporating a few drops of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
