Classic Vegan Mayo
This homemade classic vegan mayo recipe is a staple in our refrigerator and will soon become a staple in yours. I find it easy to make, creamy, and delicious.
Vegan Mayo can be made using a variety of ingredients such as tofu, plant milk, cashews, or aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) as a base, and is often flavored with vinegar, mustard, and seasonings.
I find that one of the benefits of vegan mayo is that it is suitable for those who are allergic to eggs or have dietary restrictions that prohibit the consumption of animal products. Subsequently, it can also be a healthier option as it is often lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than traditional mayonnaise. Additionally, we always love to promote healthy options.
We’re seeing many grocery stores now carry vegan mayonnaise options. It can also be easily made at home with a blender or food processor and some essential ingredients. We like to make our own vegan mayo as it allows us to control the elements and tailor the flavors to our personal preferences.
Vegan mayo can be used in a variety of ways, just like traditional mayonnaise. It can be used as a spread on sandwiches, as a dressing for salads, or as an ingredient in dips and sauces. Furthermore, it can also be used as a base for other condiments like vegan aioli or vegan tartar sauce. You can use this as a spread on your burger or as a creamy base for the curry salad.
