Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened soy milk
- 1 cup Neutral oil (such as sunflower, grapeseed, or canola)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a tall jar or mixing container, combine the soy milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt.
Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients for about 15 seconds until they are well combined.
While continuing to blend, slowly add the oil in a thin, steady stream. This step is crucial for emulsification and will help the mixture thicken and turn creamy.
Once all the oil is added, continue blending for a few more seconds until the mixture reaches a thick, mayonnaise-like consistency.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust salt or tanginess if necessary. If you prefer a slightly sweeter mayo, add the optional maple syrup or agave syrup and blend again briefly.
Transfer the vegan mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use as a spread, dip, or dressing as desired. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
