If you have never had, or even heard of Alabama white sauce, let me introduce you! Alabama white sauce is a mayo based bbq sauce that originated in, you guessed it, Alabama!

Alabama White Sauce (AWS) is a a tangy, vinegar and mayo based bbq sauce which originated it Northern Alabama at Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q.

Our AWS is a vinegar and mayo based sauce like the original, with a little kick and has just enough tang to work as a caesar dressing substitute. AWS is a staple condiment in our house because it is delicious and versatile, and not just for bbq!

Its tangy and creamy and perfect slathered all over some grilled tofu skewers, grilled veggies, as a salad dressing, or honestly, just about anything! Whip up a batch and let me know all the ways you found to use this delicious and easy summer favorite!

If there is one thing the south knows about, it’s BBQ, and this sauce is just a little bit of souther magic!! I am proud of my southern roots and the food the south is known for!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup vegan mayo

  • 1/2 cup giardiniera, just the veggies not the juice (this is an Italian condiment consisting of a variety of pickled vegetables, found in the pickle section of your grocery store)

  • Juice from 1/2 lemon

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

I found a non-vegan recipe similar to this years ago in an article in Cuisine Magazine. I used to make that recipe in the pre-vegan years and have since adapted it to this vegan version to enjoy with my Tofu Skewers and Tempe Tacos.
