Ingredients
Sauce Base
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 2 teaspoon mustard
Onion Preparation
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
Herbs and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup mixed herbs (dill, parsley, and chives)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a pan or small casserole over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped onions and fry them for around 2 minutes until softened and fragrant. Then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Blend Sauce Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the 1/2 cup vegan mayo, 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, 2 teaspoons mustard, and the sautéed onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Finally, fold in 1/4 cup of finely chopped mixed herbs (dill, parsley, and chives) to the blended sauce, mixing gently to incorporate the fresh flavors without losing the creamy texture.
Notes
- For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of Buffalo sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs will alter the taste and texture.
- Great as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for grilled tofu or veggie burgers.
- Make sure to use vegan butter and mayo to keep the sauce completely plant-based.
