Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the aquafaba, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Slowly drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously blending. This emulsification process should take about 2-3 minutes.
Continue blending until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy mayonnaise-like consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding honey for a touch of sweetness if desired.
Transfer the mayonnaise dressing to a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Store in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
