Spicy Vegan Mayo TWO WAYS [Oil Free]
Description
The recipe relies on soaking or blending raw cashews or pumpkin seeds with measured water to achieve a creamy base without added oil. Blending starts slowly to avoid dry bits and gradually incorporates water for a smooth, spreadable mayo alternative. The acidity from lemon juice and apple cider vinegar balances the richness, while garlic powder and cayenne add umami and heat. The mustard contributes mild tanginess if included.
Refrigerating the mayo for at least an hour allows flavors to develop and the texture to firm up. The final product is versatile as a condiment or dip for various meals like fries, pizza, burgers, or sandwiches.
Notes suggest soaking cashews for smoother blending if a high-speed blender is unavailable and blending with minimal water at start for better texture. Nutritional info varies with seed choice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew nuts or shelled raw pumpkin seeds, raw
- ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice approx. half a lemon
- 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder
- ½-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard optional, skip for less tang
Instructions
- Add all your ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with just ⅓ cup of the water, and blend until smooth. Start on low and gradually increase the speed so you don't have loose cashew bits flying to the top of the blender. Once smooth, add the remaining water (if desired) and blend to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, as it tastes best cold. Then serve with veggies, fries, pizza, sandwiches, wraps, or burgers. Enjoy
Notes
- If using cashews without a high-speed blender, soak them in boiling water for 30 minutes before blending for a smoother texture.
- Start blending with only ⅓ cup water to avoid floating bits; add additional water after to reach desired consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
- Substitute pumpkin seeds for cashews to reduce calories and fat.
