Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Thickening Agent:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) with a few tablespoons of the almond milk until smooth. This will be your thickening agent.
- Cook the Garlic:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the remaining almond milk, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and onion powder to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
- Thicken the Sauce:
- Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan.
- Continue to whisk constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season and Serve:
- Once thickened to your desired consistency, remove the sauce from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, or let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips:
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less cornstarch mixture. If it gets too thick, you can thin it out with a little more almond milk.
- This sauce is great over vegetables, pasta, grains, or as a dip for vegan nuggets and other snacks.
