Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water or plant-based milk

Optional Variations

  • Dash of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for spice
  • Freshly chopped parsley or dill for herb infusion
  • Fresh minced garlic or roasted garlic paste for garlic boost
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice for citrus zest
  • Replace some plant-based mayonnaise with plant-based yogurt for a lighter version

Instructions

  1. Combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise and tomato paste until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored, creating a creamy base.
  2. Add vinegar and seasonings: Pour in the apple cider vinegar, then add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and natural sweetener. Whisk together thoroughly to blend all the flavors.
  3. Adjust the consistency: Add water or plant-based milk one teaspoon at a time, whisking well between each addition until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. The natural gelling agent will help maintain the perfect texture.
  4. Taste and tweak: Sample the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more vinegar for tang, smoked paprika for smokiness, or natural sweetener to balance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and creamier texture.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Whisk vigorously to avoid lumps and achieve smoothness.
  • Add potent ingredients gradually to prevent overpowering the sauce.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
