Ingredients
This recipe is made with three ingredients you can find in any grocery store! Here's what you'll need:
- Mayo - Grab your favorite vegan mayonnaise. I really like Hellman's Plant Based Mayo. It tastes exactly like regular mayonnaise to me.
- Mustard - This sauce gets its zippy flavor from Dijon mustard. I used Grey Poupon, but Maille and Edmond Fallot are great choices, too.
- Maple Syrup - Maple syrup is an excellent plant based substitute for honey (which is produced by bees, and therefore, not vegan). It provides the perfect amount of sweetness for this easy Maple Mustard Sauce recipe!
This tasty sauce is vegetarian and vegan friendly, as well as dairy free, nut free, and gluten free. And it's so delicious that everyone at your table will enjoy it, whether they follow one of these diets or not!
