Ingredient Substitutions and Suggestions

Now, I think this big mac sauce recipe has the perfect ratio of spices and ingredients to make it taste just like the real thing.

But, once you make it, you might want to make some adjustments to better suit your taste buds, so feel free to fool around with the measurements listed above. For example, if you'd prefer to have a less sweet crunch in your bug mac sauce, use dill pickle relish instead of sweet pickle relish. Or, if you prefer sweet pickle relish, you can use that too. 

And, of course, you can also adjust any measurements of the spices if you'd prefer to too.

Again though, I definitely suggest making this copycat big mac sauce the way it's written and then making adjustments if needed.
