Healthy Vegan Mayo, What?
Finally, a whole food–based, oil-free mayo you will love! Unlike the traditional variety, this mayonnaise is actually heart-healthy. So slather it on without guilt or worry!This recipe makes 1 cup of mayo. A serving size is 2 teaspoons
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews (167 g) see note
- ¾ cup plus 1 tbsp water (192 ml)
- 2 tablespoon distilled white vinegar (30 ml)
- 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (10 ml)
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard seed
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic freshly chopped
Instructions
- Put the cashews, water, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, mustard seed and garlic into a high-speed blender and purée until smooth. Refrigerate the mayo to thicken.
Notes
Note: If you are not using a high-speed blender, there are a couple of options for making your sauce smooth: You can use a coffee grinder to grind everything to a fine powder, or make sure to soak your cashews overnight, or for at least 2 to 3 hours. If you forget, you can also boil them for 30 minutes.
