I always felt like McDonald’s big mac sauce tasted like a combination of french dressing and thousand island dressing. Unlike most burgers, this one doesn’t not include other condiments like ketchup, yellow mustard, or mayonnaise.

You can use this McDonald’s special sauce recipe for a Big Mac Salad or to dip some chicken tenders or chicken nuggets.

History Of the Big Mac (Visit Wikipedia for more information about the Big Mac.)

The original formula for the Big Mac was created by McDonald’s franchise owner Jim Delligatti. He operated several McDonald’s restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. When it debuted in 1967 it was only $0.45. It was added to the menu of all U.S. McDonald’s restaurants in 1968.

The first 2 times they tried to launch the Big Mac they failed. They had different names. They were called the Aristocrat and the Blue Ribbon Burger. Esther Glickstein Rose, a 21-year-old advertising secretary named it a Big Mac and the rest is history!
