Healthy Big Mac Sauce {No Mayo}
Servings 6 servings
Upgrade your homemade burgers and sandwiches with the most delicious healthy big mac sauce! This vegan version uses the naturally creamy texture of cashews to make it totally plant-based and dairy-free. It has a delightfully tangy flavor, just like the real deal, but is made with better-for-you ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted cashews, soaked
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons diced pickles
- 2 teaspoons pickle juice (from the pickle jar)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice (or sub in white vinegar)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 2 hours.
- Add all of the ingredients for the big mac sauce to a mini blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a glass jar storage container, such as a mason jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- If you don't have time to soak the cashews, you can sub in mayo or a combination of mayo and Greek yogurt in a pinch. Just be sure to eliminate the 1/3 cup of water to prevent the sauce from becoming too runny.
- The nutritional information is based on about 2 tablespoons of sauce.
