Cottage cheese swap: This gives the burger sauce a protein boost but you can increase the light mayo if you'd rather. Adjust the sweetness to taste to balance flavors.
Low carb: to keep the carbs down, use a sugar-free ketchup, a sugar-free relish or diced pickle + juice, and granulated monk fruit for sweetener.
