Recipe Directions

Put the cashews and cauliflower in the blender, and add the water until combined well.

Slowly add the oil in one steady stream, and process until thick and creamy.

Place the rest of the ingredients into the blender to taste, and process until smooth.

Add in some more salt, mustard or lemon juice to taste until you create your perfect blend.

**Please note – you will need a high speed blender such as a VitaMix or BlendTec, in order to achieve a really creamy consistency.

Theblendergirl's Thoughts

By theblendergirl

There are a ton of good vegan mayonnaise recipes out there. But I keep coming back to this recipe I adapted from a vegan camp I went to about ten years ago. It is mild, creamy, and delicious. As usual, I have listed quantities as a guide only. I tend to add in the lemon juice, vinegar and salt at the end, and keep tasting in between each addition. Every batch yields a mayo of a slightly different personality, depending on my mood, and what I am going to use it for. But the quantities I have provided will keep you on the right track. Follow them, and you will get a mayo that you can play with.

The oil helps with the consistency. This is a really good recipe. I have made it a lot. You could try 1/8 cup oil and 1/8 cup water and see how it works. The oil allows for emulsification to take place so the mayo doesn't separate.

Do you know if it will still taste good without the oil?

I'm going to venture a guess and say, no, don't do it without the oil :)

Oh I see.. Do you know of any other ingredient that might help this emulsification process? The thing is.. I'm trying to find a way to make an Oi free mayo recipe. Thanks for the tip by the way!
