Vegan Mayo
Creamy, tangy, and irresistibly smooth, this Vegan Mayo is the ultimate plant-based alternative to traditional mayonnaise. Made with pantry staples like unsweetened soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of Dijon mustard, this recipe comes together in just 5 minutes using an immersion or standard blender. The key to its rich, velvety texture is the slow emulsion process, where neutral-flavored vegetable oil is gently drizzled in for perfect consistency every time. Customizable with a hint of maple syrup for sweetness, this egg-free, dairy-free mayo is ideal for sandwiches, salads, and dips. Whip up a batch of this versatile condiment and elevate your meals while sticking to a vegan lifestyle!

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened soy milk
- 1 cup Neutral-flavored vegetable oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for slight sweetness)
Instructions
Add the unsweetened soy milk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt to a tall, narrow container or a blender jar. If you prefer a slightly sweet mayo, add the maple syrup too.
Using an immersion blender, start blending the mixture on low speed. Alternatively, if you’re using a standard blender, secure the lid and blend on low speed.
While blending, very slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. This step is crucial for the emulsion process, so take your time to pour the oil in a thin, steady stream.
Keep blending until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy mayo consistency. This should only take 1-2 minutes.
Taste your mayo and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, vinegar, or lemon juice if needed for your desired flavor.
Transfer the vegan mayo to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. Allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes to further thicken and develop its flavor.
Your vegan mayo is now ready to use! Store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
