Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from a can of unsalted chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Miso paste (chickpea-based for soy-free alternative)
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
In a tall, narrow container or blender, combine the aquafaba, lemon juice, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend for about 15 seconds to incorporate all the flavors.
While blending on low speed, slowly drizzle in the avocado oil in a thin, steady stream. As you add the oil, the mixture will start to emulsify and thicken.
Once all the oil has been added and the mayo is smooth and creamy, stop the blender and add the chickpea-based miso paste and smoked paprika.
Blend for an additional 5-10 seconds until the miso paste and smoked paprika are fully incorporated into the mayo.
Adjust salt or lemon juice to taste if needed, blending briefly to combine.
Transfer the soy-free umami mayo to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
