Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural) or agave nectar (natural)
  • 2–3 tablespoons water, to adjust consistency

Instructions

  1. Gather and Measure Ingredients: Start by measuring out your plant-based mayonnaise, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sweetener, and water to ensure balanced flavors in your sauce.
  2. Combine Ingredients in a Bowl: In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and sweetener. Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
  3. Adjust Consistency with Water: Slowly add water one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness, whether thick for dipping or thinner for drizzling.
  4. Taste and Tweak: Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as desired add more sweetener for sweetness, more vinegar for tang, or a pinch of smoked paprika for smokiness. Mix well after each addition.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld for a richer taste before serving.

Notes

  • Choose a quality plant-based mayonnaise for best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh or high-quality natural spices to enhance the flavor profile.
  • Add water gradually to control the sauce thickness precisely.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time to deepen the flavors.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • For variations, try adding chili powder for heat, fresh herbs for brightness, or replacing powders with fresh garlic or onions.
