Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the vegan mayonnaise, tomato paste, tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and combined.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl, and whisk again to incorporate evenly.
Pour in the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if required for a thinner sauce.
If you want a spicy kick, stir in the sriracha, adjusting the amount to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding an extra pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of tamari for added flavor, if needed.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dipping sauce, drizzle over your favorite dishes, or use as a dressing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
