Hamburger Sauce FAQs
It's rich, sweet, and tangy. It has elements of Thousand Island dressing with a twist. Vinegar and pickle relish help add acidity which balances out the savory and sweet flavors perfectly. You can easily customize this to suit your taste, whether you like a sweeter flavor sauce, or more ketchup flavor, it's easy to adjust to what you're looking for.
If you aren't a fan of mayo, you can use equal parts of sour cream on plain Greek yogurt.
