Updated 3 May 2012:
So I finally created a very close clone.

mix and let chill for 4 hours or more. Just in time for 2012 Point to Point

One I’ve been using a while:

  • 1 teaspoon onion grated on a microplane grater
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon marmite
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric


combine and refrigerate for more than an hour.Or this one:
1/2 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip(ugh!)
2 tablespoons French dressing
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

another vote for:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons French dressing
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.
2. Place sauce in a covered container and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, so that the flavors blend. Stir the sauce a couple of times as it chills.

Makes about 3/4 cup.
or this one:
1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Catalina Salad Dressing (recipe

1 Tablespoon diced Dill Pickle
2 teaspoons Dill Pickle Juice

and another vote

  • 1 cup miracle whip
  • 1/3 cup sweet relish
  • 1/4 cup french dressing
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced onion

but then I found this recipe:
This “top-secret recipe” is from a McDonalds Manager’s Handbook published in 1969. It was meant to be used only as an emergency recipe for stores that ran out of the pre-made sauce that each store used on the Big Macs®. But, this page in the handbook was quickly removed for fear of other burger chains learning and using the top-secret sauce. But, it was too late. The recipe somehow got out and was made public the next year, and has been available ever since.

Yields: 1 cup, or enough for 8 burgers

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 minute

Total Time: 11 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup salad dressing (like Miracle Whip®)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp French salad dressing
  • 1/2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dill pickle relish
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried, minced onion
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp ketchup
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation:

 

  1. Mix all ingredients, and stir well in a small container.
  2. Microwave on high for 25 seconds, and stir well again.
  3. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
