Ingredients you need for this burgers sauce


- Ketchup. I am a classic girl and love Heinz. I go with organic Heinz to keep it classic.
- Mayonnaise. Again, I go classic with Hellmanns.
- Pickles. I like bread and butter pickles because of the added sweetness and crunch is perfection.
- Pickle juice. A teaspoon of pickle juice adds great acidity to the burgers sauce. You can also use white vinegar.
- Dijon mustard. This adds a nice dimension to the burgers sauce.
