Dive into the world of vegan culinary delights with our Premium Vegan Aquafaba Mayonnaise.
This egg-free wonder uses the magic of aquafaba—the liquid from canned chickpeas—as a miraculous emulsifier, creating a mayonnaise so creamy and lush, you won’t believe it’s vegan.
Enhanced with a touch of mustard and the brightness of lemon juice, this mayonnaise is not just a condiment; it’s a statement.
It’s perfect for spreading on sandwiches, dolloping on veggie burgers, or as a base for creamy dressings and sauces.
Whether you’re vegan, allergic to eggs, or simply seeking to reduce your carbon footprint, this aquafaba mayonnaise is a luxurious, guilt-free addition to your culinary repertoire.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup light olive oil or sunflower oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
- Note: For best results, ensure the aquafaba is at room temperature before starting.
Instructions
- In a tall, narrow container or the cup that came with your immersion blender, combine the aquafaba, lemon juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard, and sea salt.
- Using an immersion blender, blend these ingredients together on low speed until well combined.
- Slowly start drizzling in the oil while the blender is still running. Initially add the oil drop by drop, then gradually increase to a thin stream.
- Continue blending until the mixture thickens and emulsifies into a creamy mayonnaise.
- Once the mayonnaise has reached your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning, adding garlic powder if using.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate.
- The mayonnaise will thicken further and develop its flavors after chilling for a few hours.
Tips & Tricks
- If your mayonnaise doesn’t emulsify, try adding another tablespoon of aquafaba and blend again.
- For a lighter flavor, you can replace half of the oil with unsweetened plant-based milk.
- Aquafaba mayonnaise can be customized with various add-ins, such as herbs, spices, or even a teaspoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
