  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and sugar.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • For a gluten free burger sauce, confirm your sweet pickle relish does not contain gluten stabilizers. This recipe is naturally gluten free if using standard ingredients.
  • You can make this sauce ahead of time; it keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt for a healthy special sauce alternative.
