Subway's Sweet Onion Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped white onion
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, yellow mustard, finely chopped white onion, dried minced onion, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Make sure to thoroughly mix the sugar in with the mayonnaise to dissolve it completely.
2. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. A whisk works best to ensure no lumps of sugar remain.
3. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more sugar for extra sweetness, vinegar for more tang, or salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for a bolder flavor.
4. Once you're satisfied with the flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step significantly improves the overall taste. The longer it chills, the better the flavors will blend.
5. After chilling, give the sauce another quick stir before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it chills.
6. Serve the sweet onion sauce as a condiment for sandwiches, burgers, french fries, or any other dish you enjoy. It's particularly delicious with Subway-style sandwiches!
