Description

This copycat Subway Sweet Onion Sauce recipe delivers the exact same sweet, tangy, and slightly savory flavor that makes your favorite subs so irresistible. With just a few simple ingredients and 5 minutes of your time, you’ll have a homemade version that tastes even better than the original!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use real mayo for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh onion (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all ingredients and a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Create the Base: In your mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and honey. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Tangy Elements: Gradually whisk in the apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard.
  4. Incorporate Seasonings: Add the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and white pepper. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
  5. Fine-Tune Flavor: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of salt if desired, or more honey for extra sweetness.
  6. Let It Rest: Allow the sauce to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld together.

Notes

Storage: Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version, or vegan mayo for dairy-free option.

Pro Tip: The sauce tastes even better after 24 hours as flavors develop and intensify.
