Vegan Big Mac Sauce (No Mayo!)

This Vegan Big Mac Sauce replicates the classic burger condiment without mayonnaise by using soaked cashew nuts as the creamy base. Blended with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, spices, and tangy pickle relish, the sauce delivers a smooth texture and savory tang that complements plant-based burgers and sandwiches.
