Ingredients

  • ¾ cup raw cashews (90 g) See step 1 below
  • ⅓ cup aquafaba (the liquid in a can of chickpeas or white beans), either salted or unsalted Or use water
  • 1 tablespoon water Omit if subbing water for aquafaba
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons organic cane sugar, brown rice syrup, agave or maple syrup Cane sugar and agave taste the most neutral
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder, optional
  • ½ to ¾ teaspoon mustard powder Sub ½ teaspoon prepared mustard if needed, and reduce one of the vinegars by ½ tsp.
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • ¾ to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt Adjust based on whether the aquafaba is salted or not

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. A high-speed blender is recommended for the creamiest consistency; if using a standard blender, soak cashews first by placing them in a bowl and covering with boiling water. Soak for 1 hour, then drain. Alternatively, substitute 6 tablespoons raw cashew butter (a very full ⅓ cup).
  2. For the ingredients where a range is indicated, begin with the lesser amount. Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust acid, salt, and sweetness.
  3. Use immediately or transfer the mayo to a jar and refrigerate until chilled, 2 to 4 hours. It will thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • Store homemade vegan mayo in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (this may vary). Always use clean utensils and containers for serving and storage to extend freshness. 
  • All of the ingredients are freezer-friendly, so you can probably freeze it. I haven't tried, though, since we always use it up!
