Oh, you're in for a treat! Vegan mayo is super easy to make and tastes just as creamy and delicious as the traditional kind. Plus, no chickens were bothered in the making of this mayo! 🐔💚
Here's a simple recipe for you:
Vegan mayo Ingredients:
1 cup of unsweetened soy milk (or any other plant milk, but soy works best for consistency)
2 cups of neutral oil (like sunflower or canola oil)
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
A pinch of sugar (optional, but it balances the flavors nicely)
Instructions:
Blend It Up: In a blender or food processor, combine the soy milk, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), Dijon mustard, salt, and sugar if you're using it. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until everything is well mixed.
Slowly Add Oil: With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the oil. This is key! If you add the oil too quickly, it won't emulsify properly. Keep blending until the mixture thickens up to a mayo-like consistency. This usually takes a couple of minutes.
Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Maybe a bit more salt or a splash more vinegar if you like it tangy.
Chill Out: Transfer your mayo to a jar or container and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. It will thicken up even more as it cools.
And there you have it! Creamy, dreamy vegan mayo ready to slather on sandwiches, mix into salads, or just eat by the spoonful (no judgment here!). Enjoy! 🌱🥪
P.S. If you want to get fancy, you can add garlic, herbs, or even a bit of sriracha for a spicy kick!
