Homemade Vegan Mayo

Mayonnaise is a condiment that you either really love or really dislike. There’s really no in-between. Like many things store-bought, jarred mayo can be loaded with unhealthy ingredients. Refined-sugars, additives, saturated fats, etc. For those of us who are fans of mayo know how delicious it can make a sandwich, a potato salad, a burger or anything else you like to smother mayo on. It just makes these foods that much more tasty.

Why Vegan Mayo?

Eggs are delicious and full of nutrients as well. However, there are many reasons why some people may prefer an eggless mayo. Some of these reasons can be allergies. Some people are allergic to eggs so mayo is out of the question for them. Vegans also can’t have anything that has eggs in them as they are an animal product. Others just really don’t like the texture or the idea of eggs turning into mayo.

This version of mayo allows anyone who is not able to have conventional mayonnaise enjoy it. In addition to this being an eggless option, this mayo is also a much healthier option to store-bough mayonnaise. It has no additives, no refined-sugars, and no saturated-fats. Most mayo brands use sunflower oil which is not the best kind of oil to use or consume. This recipe uses avocado oil which is much healthier and full of healthy fats which are actually essential.

How to make Homemade Vegan Mayo:

Tips for making Homemade Vegan Mayo:

1. Mayo may seem too much like liquid at first- This is because once it’s stored it the fridge it starts to thicken. Leaving this initial texture will allow it to then reach a regular mayo texture and not get too thick for spreading.
2. Soak cashews overnight instead of boiling them- This process makes the cashews even creamier. 

How to store your Homemade Vegan Mayo:

After you make your mayo, place any leftover mayo in a mason jar or any other airtight container. Keep your Homemade Vegan Mayo refrigerated for up to 7-10 days. Take note that the longer time the mayo sits in the fridge, the thicker it gets. As the days go by, it loses it’s liquidity and gets more pasty. If this happens try adding a bit more avocado oil.
