Required Kitchen Tools
When I make this sauce, I keep these essentials nearby to make the process quick, smooth, and fuss-free:
- Mixing Bowl – For whisking the mayo base and combining all the flavors.
- Hand Whisk or Electric Mixer – A whisk works fine, but if you want a quicker, creamier mayo, an electric mixer is your friend.
- Measuring Spoons & Cups – Precision is key to getting the perfect balance of flavors.
- Blender or Food Processor – To puree the onion and blend the gherkins evenly into the sauce.
- Airtight Jar or Container – For storing the sauce in the fridge so it stays fresh and flavorful.
Having these tools at hand makes this recipe almost effortless, and the payoff is pure burger-sauce bliss.
