Healthy Vegan Mayonnaise [Oil-Free]
Description
Healthy Vegan Mayonnaise [Oil-Free] uses soft silken tofu to achieve a creamy consistency similar to traditional mayonnaise. The tofu is blended with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for acidity, Dijon mustard for flavor depth and emulsifying properties, garlic powder for savory notes, and salt to season. The blending process creates a smooth and spreadable texture without using oils or eggs, making it suitable for vegan and oil-restricted diets.
This mayonnaise substitute works well as a spread for sandwiches, a base for dressings, or a dip component. The flavor is brightened by lemon and vinegar while remaining mild, allowing easy seasoning adjustments.
After blending, it’s best to let the mayonnaise rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. If the mayonnaise is too thick, a small amount of plant-based milk can be added gradually to reach the desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 soft silken tofu drained, 12-ounce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or a blender for one minute or until completely smooth. Taste and adjust the levels of the ingredients to taste.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use soft silken tofu to ensure a creamy, smooth mayonnaise texture.
- If the mayo is too thick, add plant-based milk cautiously to achieve the preferred consistency.
- Adjust seasonings after blending to suit your taste preferences.
- Allow the mayonnaise to rest refrigerated for an hour or more to let flavors blend fully before serving.
