Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked*
- 1/2 cup plant milk (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/8 tsp. kala namak (optional, but recommended)
- 1/4 tsp. salt (or up to 1/2 tsp.)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. (I use a small NutriBullet which works great.)
- Taste and adjust flavors if desired. Add a splash more liquid if needed to blend.

Notes
- *Soaking cashews: Before blending, soak the cashews in room temperature water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Then drain and rinse before using. Or quick soak: Place cashews in a heat-safe bowl and carefully add hot/boiling water until cashews are submerged. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes. Then drain and rinse.
- Milk: Can substitute with water or aquafaba instead.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1 1/3 cup mayo. (About 10-11 servings at 2 Tbsp. each.)
- Storing: Store mayo in an airtight jar in the fridge. It thickens further as it chills. I find it keeps for about 1-2 weeks, but use your best judgement.
