Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (maple syrup or agave, natural)

Optional Variations

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or dash of hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill, parsley, or chives (for herb twist)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons plant-based yogurt (for creamier texture)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice (for citrus boost)
  • 1 clove freshly grated garlic (for garlic lover’s dream)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out plant-based mayonnaise, tomato paste (natural), apple cider vinegar, garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and your sweetener to prepare for smooth blending.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the plant-based mayonnaise and tomato paste (natural) until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
  3. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and smoked paprika (natural) into the bowl. Then drizzle apple cider vinegar and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir thoroughly to integrate all flavors evenly.
  4. Sweeten and Adjust: Add your sweetener a teaspoon at a time, tasting after each addition to find your preferred balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
  5. Chill for Flavor Fusion: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, developing a richer, well-rounded taste profile.
