Vegan Burger Sauce
Description
The recipe combines raw cashews and water in a high-speed blender with yellow mustard, tomato paste, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, and sea salt. These ingredients blend into a thick, creamy sauce with a balanced tanginess and subtle sweetness from the maple syrup. The natural creaminess of cashews provides a rich texture without dairy.
The sauce can be adjusted in flavor after blending, allowing for tailoring to personal taste. It is stored in an airtight container and kept chilled; the sauce thickens in the refrigerator but can be thinned with a little water before serving to reach desired consistency.
This sauce is designed as a dairy-free alternative to traditional burger sauces and can complement various sandwiches or wraps. It offers a unique texture and flavor profile derived from its cashew base and seasoning, making it suitable for vegan dishes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew nuts raw
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, water, mustard, tomato paste, maple syrup, vinegar, onion powder, and salt. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, about 60 to 90 seconds.
- Taste the sauce and make any flavor adjustments, as needed. Then pour it into an airtight container with a lid and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
