Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Spread the tomato mayonnaise over sandwiches, wraps, veggie burgers, or toasted bread. Serve it as a dip for fries, roasted potatoes, crackers, or raw vegetables. It can also be stirred through potato, pasta, or coleslaw-style salads.Recipe Notes
Use smooth, concentrated tomato paste rather than tomato sauce. Tomato sauce contains more liquid and can make the mayonnaise thin. Chilling the finished condiment for 10 minutes gives the garlic, mustard, and tomato time to blend.Variations
Add smoked paprika for a smoky sauce or cayenne pepper for extra heat. Fresh basil creates an Italian-style variation, while finely chopped pickles produce a tangier burger sauce. A small amount of maple syrup can balance particularly acidic tomato paste.Dietary Advice
Choose vegan mayonnaise to keep the recipe free from eggs and dairy ingredients. Check that the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and tomato paste are certified gluten-free when preparing the sauce for someone with coeliac disease.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc complements the tomato, lemon, and mustard. A dry Rosé works particularly well when the mayonnaise accompanies burgers, grilled vegetables, or picnic food.Nutrition values
