What are typical Cajun flavors?

Cajun seasoning is a bold and zesty blend typically made with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, white pepper, oregano, thyme, and salt.

It balances savory, spicy, and herbal flavors, with cayenne providing a signature kick.

Some variations include chili powder, celery salt, mustard powder, or dried basil for added complexity.

What can one use Cajun Sauce with?

So this is a slightly more basic recipe for an easy Cajun Sauce 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.

How this Cajun Sauce recipe stands out

Easy preparation with few ingredients - What I love about this recipe is that it is really, really simple to make.

No cooking required - You don't even have to cook anything. All you need is a single bowl and you are ready to go.

It's ready in no time - 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.

Ideas for serving Cajun Sauce

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.
