Vegan Aioli
Vegan Aioli is an oil-based garlic sauce emulsified with soy milk instead of eggs, blended with lemon juice, garlic, and salt. The resulting smooth, thick condiment mirrors traditional aioli's texture and works well as a dip or spread. Using unsweetened plain soy milk is key due to its natural emulsifiers. Flavor deepens with time in the fridge and can be adjusted after blending.
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil 250 ml
- ½ cup soy milk 125 ml (at room temperature, unsweetened
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Let the soy milk come up to about room temperature (so it’s the same temp as the oil).
- Add all ingredients to a large jug and blend with an immersion blender until thick and smooth.
- Taste and adjust the lemon juice or salt if required.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use only plain, unsweetened soy milk for proper emulsification and flavor.
- Fresh garlic should be minced finely to avoid pieces in the sauce; garlic powder is a substitute if fresh is unavailable.
- Flavor improves after chilling the aioli for several hours.
- Lemon juice can be replaced with apple cider vinegar if preferred.
- All ingredients should be at room temperature for best results.
