Smashburger Sauce Recipe
Description
The Smashburger Sauce Recipe combines mayo, Dijon mustard, and sweet pickle relish with fresh lemon juice and seasoning salt to create a rich, creamy sauce. The Dijon adds a gentle tang, while the pickle relish contributes a hint of sweetness and crunch. Lemon juice brightens the flavor, and seasoning salt rounds out the taste. Mixing these ingredients until smooth results in a well-emulsified sauce suited for spreading on burgers or serving as a dip.
This sauce works well on classic smashed burgers, enhancing their flavor without overwhelming the meat. It can also accompany onion rings, fries, tater tots, or vegetables, broadening its use beyond sandwiches. The balanced, creamy nature makes it an adaptable condiment in casual home cooking.
Storage recommendations include refrigerating the sauce in an airtight container for up to two weeks without freezing. The recipe can easily be doubled to accommodate larger gatherings. Variations include using keto-friendly mayo, swapping yellow mustard for Dijon, adding heat with hot sauce or cayenne pepper, or adjusting sweetness with sugar or sugar substitutes. Worcestershire sauce and different pickle relishes can customize the flavor profile further.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise use a good quality, I like Avocado oil mayo myself

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh is best
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt I like this Organic, no-MSG type
Instructions

Notes
- Keep the sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks; avoid freezing to maintain texture.
- Double the recipe easily to serve more people or for batch preparation.
- Substitute yellow mustard for Dijon mustard to modify flavor if desired.
- Add hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or extra pickle juice to adjust heat or tanginess.
- Use as a dip for fries, veggies, or snacks beyond its burger application.
- Keto versions simply require keto-friendly mayonnaise as the base.
