Subway Sweet Onion Sauce Recipe
If you love the tangy, sweet flavor of Subway’s Sweet Onion Sauce, you’re in for a treat! This homemade version is quick, easy, and perfect for drizzling over sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions:
1. Combine ingredients:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, white vinegar, red wine vinegar, and finely minced onion. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Thicken the sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little bit of cold water (about 2 tablespoons) to create a slurry.
- Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce while continuously stirring. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
3. Add mustard:
- Once the sauce has thickened, whisk in the Dijon mustard. Stir until everything is well combined.
4. Cool and store:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
Tips for Success:
- Adjust sweetness: You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking depending on how sweet you want the sauce to be.
- Consistency: If the sauce gets too thick after cooling, you can thin it out with a small amount of water when reheating.
- Flavor boost: Feel free to experiment by adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of cayenne for extra flavor!
This Subway Sweet Onion Sauce is a delicious addition to your homemade sandwiches or salads and adds that perfect balance of sweetness and tang! Enjoy!
