In-N-Out spread packets.
If you’re lucky enough to be located near an In-N-Out burger place, ask when you pick up your order if you can have a few packets of their burger sauce. They keep them under the counter. Instead of responding “why do you need more when it’s already on the burger*” they will be happy to provide a handful.
Keep refrigerated!
Like a lot of folks, I think of the sauce as very similar to Thousand Island Dressing, though Google’s AI insists “No, In-N-Out spread is not just Thousand Island dressing; it is a similar condiment with its own unique, secret recipe, though it has a comparable creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet profile. Key differences include the spread having a less spicy and sweeter flavor, and some copycat recipes suggest it uses a base of mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet pickle relish with other ingredients for a more complex flavor than typical Thousand Island.”
We made a salad with In-N-Out sauce packet dressing!
Whatever, a couple of these generous In-N-Out Sauce packets will easily dress a medium salad and you can make it your own with a splash of sesame oil and a dash of rice vinegar (to create something similar to the side salad in a Japanese restaurant) or some lemon juice for added tartness. Check it out.
P.S. The sauce needs to be refrigerated, so don’t just toss it in the drawer with your packets of soy sauce and ketchup.
*As long time readers know, our preferred In-N-Out burger does not actually have their sauce on it.
