Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise (plant-based) and 1/4 cup ketchup (natural) until completely smooth to form a creamy foundation for your sauce.
  2. Add vinegar and seasonings: Stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar along with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural), 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural), 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural), 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (natural), and 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to create a well-balanced flavor.
  3. Incorporate the natural gelling agent: Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent and mix thoroughly to ensure the sauce thickens slightly and clings beautifully to your dishes.
  4. Adjust flavor and chill: Taste your sauce and tweak salt, sugar, or spice levels as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and intensify.
