Oh my gosh, vegan mayo is LIFE! đ±đ
Iâm seriously stoked to share these creamy, dreamy vegan mayo recipes with you. As someone whoâs been whipping up plant-based delights for years, I can confidently say these will rock your world (and your sandwiches).
Weâve got options for every palate â from classic to adventurous. Iâve taste-tested and tweaked these bad boys to perfection. And the best part? Theyâre way easier to make than you might think!
So grab your blender and letâs dive into mayo heaven. Your taste buds can thank me later!
Classic Vegan Mayo
Letâs kick things off with a good olâ classic, shall we?
This vegan mayo is so spot-on, itâll fool even the most die-hard egg enthusiasts.
The secret? A magical combo of soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and a neutral oil like canola or sunflower.
Blend it all up with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon, and BAM! Creamy perfection.
Pro tip: make sure your soy milk is unsweetened, unless youâre into that whole sweet mayo thing (no judgment here, you do you).
I once served this to my non-vegan cousin, and he literally asked me if Iâd âcheatedâ on my vegan diet. The look on his face when I told him it was 100% plant-based? Priceless. đ
Garlic Aioli
Okay, garlic lovers, this oneâs for you!
If youâre anything like me, you believe garlic makes EVERYTHING better. And this aioli? Itâs proof.
Start with your classic vegan mayo base, then add in a healthy dose of minced garlic (and by healthy, I mean enough to keep vampires away for a solid week).
Throw in some lemon juice for brightness, and a dash of Dijon mustard for that extra kick.
Fair warning: this stuff is addictive. You might find yourself âaccidentallyâ making extra garlicky dishes just to have an excuse to slather this on everything.
Been there, done that, no regrets.
Chipotle Mayo
Spice up your life (and your sandwiches) with this smoky, spicy chipotle mayo!
Take your basic vegan mayo and blend in some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Thatâs it. Seriously.
The result? A creamy, tangy spread with a kick thatâll make your taste buds do a happy dance.
I love using this on veggie burgers or as a dip for sweet potato fries. Itâs also fantastic drizzled over tacos â because letâs face it, when are tacos NOT a good idea?
Just a heads up â this mayo packs some heat. If youâre a spice wimp (no shame), start with less chipotle and work your way up. Your mouth will thank you.
Avocado Mayo
Video Recipe
Avocado toast, meet your new best friend.
This green goddess of a mayo is packed with healthy fats and tastes like a dream. Plus, itâs so vibrant itâll make your Instagram food pics pop!
Blend ripe avocados with a bit of plant milk, lemon juice, and your usual mayo seasonings.
The result is a lusciously creamy spread thatâs perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or just eating by the spoonful (donât pretend you havenât done it).
Word to the wise: this one doesnât keep as long as other mayos due to the avocado. But letâs be real, itâll be gone before you know it anyway.
Aquafaba Mayo
Get ready to have your mind blown. This mayo uses the liquid from a can of chickpeas. I know, I know, it sounds weird. But trust me on this one.
Aquafaba (fancy name for bean water) whips up into a fluffy, meringue-like consistency thatâs eerily similar to egg whites.
Blend it with some neutral oil, a splash of vinegar, and your favorite seasonings, and voila! Mayo magic.
The first time I made this, I felt like a kitchen scientist. Now itâs my go-to when I want to impress my foodie friends with my vegan wizardry.
Cashew Mayo
Calling all nut lovers! This cashew-based mayo is about to become your new obsession.
Soak some raw cashews, then blend them up with lemon juice, a bit of Dijon mustard, and some garlic powder.
The result? A rich, creamy spread thatâs perfect for those who might be soy-sensitive.
I love using this as a base for vegan ranch dressing. Itâs so good, you might catch yourself licking the bowl. Not that Iâve ever done that. Nope. Not me. đ
Silken Tofu Mayo
For all you soy lovers out there, this oneâs for you!
Silken tofu gives this mayo a super smooth texture thatâs perfect for spreading on sandwiches or using as a base for creamy dressings.
Blend silken tofu with some lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness.
Add in some mustard powder and salt, and youâre good to go!
This mayo is lower in fat than oil-based versions, making it a great option if youâre watching your calorie intake. Or if you just want an excuse to eat more of it. I wonât judge.
Sunflower Seed Mayo
Last but definitely not least, weâve got a mayo thatâs perfect for those with nut allergies (or anyone who just loves a good sunflower seed).
Soak some sunflower seeds, then blend them up with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup.
The result is a slightly nutty (or seedy?), creamy spread thatâs delicious on everything from sandwiches to potato salad.
I stumbled upon this recipe when I was trying to make something for my nut-allergic friend. Now itâs become a staple in my kitchen, nut allergies or not!
Well, there you have it, folks! Eight creamy, dreamy vegan mayo recipes thatâll make you forget all about the egg-based stuff.
Whether youâre a long-time vegan or just mayo-curious, these recipes are sure to spice up your sandwich game (and maybe your life?).
Remember, the key to great vegan mayo is experimentation. Donât be afraid to play around with flavors and ingredients. Who knows? You might just create the next big thing in vegan condiments!
Now, if youâll excuse me, all this mayo talk has made me hungry. Iâm off to slather some of this goodness on⊠well, everything in my fridge.
