Description

This light vegan mayo made from silken tofu and cashews is creamy, oil-free and ready in five minutes — with around 75% fewer calories than classic mayonnaise. No egg, no oil, no compromise on taste.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12.3 oz (350 g) silken tofu
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) cashews
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
  • 2 tsp maple syrup (or sugar, erythritol)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp onion powder (optional)


Instructions

  1. Pour hot water over the cashews and soak for 10 minutes. Then drain.
  2. Drain the silken tofu and put it in a (high-speed) blender with the remaining ingredients. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender.)
  3. Blend for 1-2 minutes on the highest setting until smooth and creamy.
  4. Season to taste — done!
  5. Transfer to a jar and store airtight in the fridge for up to 8 days.

Notes

The components may separate over time. Just stir vigorously with a clean spoon before serving.
