Ingredient Notes

ingredients for burger sauce - mayo, ketchup, dijon, sriracha, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper

Mayonnaise: The mayo gives this burger sauce recipe a creamy, silky texture. You can use store-bought, or you can make it from scratch. Check out my Easy Peasy 2-Minute Mayo Recipe.
Ketchup: To keep this lower in carbs, look for a natural ketchup, or a reduced sugar ketchup. (This is the one that I use). Alternatively, you can use tomato paste.
Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire adds a nice kick of umami to this burger sauce. You could also use coconut aminos or soy sauce.
Garlic: For this recipe, I used fresh garlic, but you can also use dried minced garlic, or garlic powder.
Dijon mustard: If you do not have any Dijon mustard on hand, you could also use yellow mustard, sweet hot mustard, or stone ground mustard.
Sriracha: This gives the burger sauce a nice kick. If you do not have sriracha, you can substitute chili paste or hot sauce.
