I know I recommend vegan mayo fairly regularly in my quick meals and it's one of the only things I consume that is to be frank, unhealthy.
Now, I'm a fan of treats - regularly - however I prefer they be high value treats and my store bought mayo, is low value. It's 71% fat. From canola oil.
So when I found this recipe from Carleigh the Scrappy Vegan with only 7 ingredients... using up the aqua-faba I waste every week when I make hummus AND where the only fat is cashews, I was excited.
✅ I am happy to share the taste of this mayo EXCEEDS my high expectations! ✅
It's a little runny however, I can handle that for a quick, cheap, healthy, delicious mayo.
- ½ cup aquafaba, could be more or less, depending on what is left from a can of chickpeas
- ¾ cup cashews, soaked overnight (I just soaked for 90 minutes in boiling water)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp mustard, I used dijon
- 1 tsp salt
Simply blend all together.
