Easy Vegan Mayo Recipe 

Lemon

tsp Distilled White Vinegar

tsp Nutritional Yeast

Dijon Mustard

tsp Salt

water (for the Cashew version ONLY)

tsp White Sugar (for the Tofu version ONLY)

Remove the Silken Tofu from its package, removing as much water as possible. Cut the Tofu into cubes and carefully place them onto a dry and clean dish towel. Let the Tofu sit on the towel for 5-10 minutes, to absorb extra moisture.

Add the Silken Tofu Cubes, Lemon Juice, Vinegar, Nutritional Yeast, Dijon Mustard, Sugar, and Salt to a high-speed blender. Blend for 45 seconds, or until everything is well incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to a glass jar or sealable container, and store in the fridge for up to 10 days.

For the Tofu Mayo:

Drain your soaked Cashews, if they are still in liquid. Add the Cashews, Lemon Juice, Vinegar, Nutritional Yeast, Dijon Mustard, and Salt to a high-speed blender.

Add 1/4 cup of Filtered Water if you are using the Cashew Mayo immediately in a recipe

Add 1/3 cup of Filtered Water if you are planning on using the Mayo over time (ex: Sandwiches)

Blend all ingredients together for 60 seconds, then transfer to a glass jar or sealable container.

For the Cashew Mayo:

I found this recipe too salty, but really tasty otherwise.

Amazing! I made both recipes and they were both great. My boyfriend and I (both massive mayonnaise lovers) agreed that the cashew was more similar in both taste and consistency to storebought mayo. I have to say, literally eating mayo by the spoonful has never tasted so guilt-free!

Just made the cashew version to make Cole slaw with. It turned out delicious!! I definitely will be making again.

This is the second recipie we have tried from you. The first was the vegan nacho cheese.  My wife deeharders@aol.com and i think this Mayo recipie has more flavor than others we have tried. Do you have an alfredo sauce?

I made the silken tofu version of this for a very skeptical Ukrainian friend who uses full-fat traditional mayonnaises for her signature potato salad. After tasting it her eyes lit up. We both agreed that it tastes just like mayonnaise, even when substituting 1/8 t. stevia for the sugar to accommodate her diabetic diet. We put it into a recipe calculator, and, when compared to just 2 tablespoons of traditional mayonnaise, this entire recipe has less calories, half the fat, and 100% less cholesterol. We used this as a base for tartar sauce, and it was great. My friend's excited to start making her potato salad with your vegan mayo now, too. Thanks so much for this easy, delicious recipe!

Loved the tofu version!  Used 8oz like the recipe called for and only ended up with about 3/4 cup of mayo so will double the recipe next time.

The tofu version is perfect to use in any other recipe that calls for vegan mayo. I use it to make a cafe rio knockoff dressing and the added ingredients erase any of the tofu taste that might still be left over.

I have made this recipe at least 5 times and I just love it! I always change up recipes, and with this one I use both cashews (around 10 of them) and tofu (Trader Joe's sprouted small container tofu). Also instead of white vinegar, I use apple cider vinegar and I just eyeball the rest of the ingredients. It's a great oil free and healthy alternative to vegan mayo!

Great recipe and simple instructions! Yesterday I made tofu mayo and now it's my new favorite. This natural home-made product is definitely better than the ones full of chemical. So thank you for this post!

I’m not seeing a measure for sugar for the tofu version.  Could you please tell me how much?  I made the tofu version last night and, aside from lacking that hint of sweetness, it is fantastic!  Many thanks!!

Hi, I am curious what blender did you use to make this vegan mayo with the quantity of the ingredients specified? Mine just doesn't blend smooth enough, well it take some effort to get there. So want to know what you used. Thanks.

You are really awesome , I follow most of your recipes .. Thank You so much for your efforts and Creative ideas :) .

Loved this! I used it in your chickpea salad sandwiches, and it was so great! I used the cashew version.

What can I say? Perfection. I don't know how to thank you enough for sharing this AMAZING recipe! I was craving and missing mayo and came across this recipe. Decided to give it a go without much expectations and it blew my mind. I am currently obsessed with this mayo. Doing a double batch as we speak, because it does not last very long in the fridge! At the moment I love to use it as a dipping sauce for my falafels. It's so creamy, so delicious! :)

I am NOT a fan of "traditional" mayo at all, so much so, I never really bought it prior to becoming a vegan. However, since becoming a vegan, I decided to try this vegan (cashew based) recipe so that I can use it to make things like chickpea salad sandwiches, vegan "egg" salad sandwiches, vegan "tuna" salad, vegan potato salad, etc. This vegan (cashew based) mayo is by far THE BEST mayo I have ever tasted! It is so delicious I found myself eating spoonfuls of it...it's that good! However, I must say this... I followed the recipe exactly for the cashew version and had to end up slightly tweaking it because it was way too salty. Since the recipe did not specify what type of salt to use, I used my "go to" which is pink Himalayan salt. Three quarters of a teaspoon of that made this may way too salty. In order to dilute some of the saltiness, I added a little bit more water, which actually worked out perfectly because the 1/3 cup of water, which is what the recipe called for, was not enough to make the mayo really smooth (atleast not for me). So with the addition of the extra water I was able to dilute the overpowering saltiness, while getting that extra creamy consistency that mayo should have. So I give this recipe 5 stars and two thumbs up because it tastes better than any store bought mayo (including the vegan varieties like Veganaise) out there!

Hi Catlin,
I made your cashew mayo and it was amazing!  I tweaked the recipe a little as I found that it needed more flavour for my taste, so I added a few cloves of garlic and then to 1/2 the recipe I added sriracha for some spicy mayo which was AMAZING!  Thanks for the basic recipe.  Love it!!!

Amazing! Made the tofu version and was surprised how tasty it was with so little seasoning :-) although I confess to adding a touch more nutritional yeast! thank you ☺️

I decided to experiment and used sprouted extra firm tofu. It blended quite well in my ninja bullet. I had to add about 1/3 cup water to get the consistency of mayo. On its own it tastes mildly of tofu but added to something else (like chickpea salad sandwich) you can't taste the tofu at all! Great consistency. Thank you for the healthier version of mayo!

This thick and creamy silken tofu mayonnaise is a must-have condiment in your pantry! It is effortless to make and is ready in 5 minutes. This dairy-free vegan mayo is versatile and is great as a spread, dipping sauce, or dressing.
