Easy Homemade Vegan Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk or any other plant-based milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 cup neutral-flavored oil (such as sunflower or canola oil)
Instructions
- Add plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and sugar (if using) in a bowl. Whisk or blend briefly to combine.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil while continuously whisking or blending at low speed. Adding the oil gradually to achieve a thick and creamy consistency is important.
- Continue whisking or blending until the mixture emulsifies and thickens, similar to the texture of mayo. This should take a few minutes.
- Taste the mayo and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. If desired, add more salt, mustard, or vinegar/lemon juice.
- Give it a final mix to incorporate the adjustments.
- Transfer the vegan mayo to a jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately, but refrigerate it for the best flavor and texture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to chill and thicken further.
