4.9 from 23 reviews

Thick, luscious, and so easy to make, once you have tasted homemade vegan mayo, you’ll never want to bother with store-bought mayonnaise again!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 7 oz. organic tofu (silken or soft)
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (I used light flavored olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 medium lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, + more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard

Instructions

Small Personal Blender: Simply add everything to the cup, attach the criss-cross blade, and blend for 1 minute. Taste for flavor. This is my preferred method and love my NutriBullet (affiliate link ) for small jobs like this!

Immersion Blender: Place the ingredients into a 2-cup measuring cup or tall straight glass (a mason jar would be great), and using the immersion blender, blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until creamy. Taste for flavor.

Regular Blender: This will work best when doubling this recipe. Simply place the ingredients in the blender, and process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Taste for flavor.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

If you don’t care for dijon, try adding 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.

If you don’t have both lemon and vinegar on hand, taste for flavor with the one ingredient you do have, adding a little more as needed, a teaspoon at a time.

To limit the oil, use 1/4 cup. Alternately, add more, if you prefer, up to 1/2 cup.

Add more salt as needed. The mayo should not be bland tasting, and if so, it can use more salt.
