Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (such as agave or maple syrup)

Optional Variations

  • A pinch of cayenne pepper or sriracha (natural) for a spicy kick
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (chives or parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based yogurt for extra creaminess
  • Additional smoked paprika or a dash of chipotle powder for smokier flavor

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise and tomato paste (natural) until you achieve a smooth and even pale pink blend.
  2. Add the Flavor Boosters: Stir in the apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder, smoked paprika (natural), and natural sweetener. Mix thoroughly to layer in the tang, sweetness, smokiness, and umami flavors.
  3. Adjust and Chill: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as preferred, adding more smoked paprika or sweetener if desired. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to harmonize beautifully before serving.
