Cajun seasoning makes everything better! It is for sure always one of my go-tos that I like to use when more flavor is needed. 

Just check out in my Cajun Pasta, the Cajun Red Beans and Rice, or the Cajun Sweet Potato Rice Bowl and see for yourself how versatile one can be.

But there is even more! If you are looking for more Cajun recipes, use the search bar.

What can one use Cajun Sauce with

So this is a slightly more basic recipe that will quickly become a staple in your kitchen.

Why? Just because it is so versatile! You can use it as Cajun Pasta sauce, or as Cajun Dipping sauce, for example. You have almost endless possibilities here.

Think of how great this will be also in combination with potatoes, vegetables, chips, nachos, crackers, in sandwiches, burgers or wraps, even salads.

Easy preparation with few ingredients

What I love about this recipe is that it is really, really simple to make.

You don’t even have to cook anything. All you need is a single bowl and you are ready to go.

1 minute is all you need as you will also see from the step by step pictures.

What is Cajun sauce made of?

But what is it now that you actually need to have at hand? Not much, as I mentioned:

• vegan mayo
• Cajun seasoning
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• smoked paprika
• tomato paste

Those are all simple ingredients that I’m sure you have at home anyways. 

How do you make Cajun sauce from scratch?

In a bowl, combine vegan mayo, the Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and tomato paste.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then combine everything with a wire whisk or spatula.

Enjoy immediately or transfer to a jar and put a lid on top. Leftovers will last for 1 week in the fridge.

It is just an amazing sauce that is always right for dinner, lunch and so much more. As you can see on the pictures I used this Cajun Sauce with pasta and over fries. Both were absolutely delicious! 

As variation, try adding dried or fresh herbs. 

Other sauces for you to try:

• Wing Sauce
• Tikka Masala Sauce
