I didn't have any almonds to hand, so I made this with soaked hemp seeds - worked really well.

I also made a batch with prepared mustard, since I was out of the powder - this doesn't work! I've since found out that a lot of commercial mayos contain mustard powder as it acts as a nucleation point for the droplets of olive oil (basically as an emulsifier), in the same was that the lecithin in egg yokes do in 'real' mayo.

This blew my mind! It tastes and smells just like real mayo. For mine I used cashews, agave and added onion powder and lecithin. So delicious!

a few questions about the almonds, how long do you have to soak them and do they need to be blanched?

thanks.

Your welcome. I was surprised at how much the texture and taste was similar to actual mayonaise.
