Let’s prepare vegan mayonnaise: a very easy and light recipe

Ideal as an aperitif sauce or as an accompaniment to your dishes, vegan mayonnaise will surprise you!

Very few ingredients are enough to prepare one of the most used and well-known sauces in our kitchens: vegan mayonnaise. Like the traditional one, it is excellent for enriching salads, burgers, chips and much more.

Compared to the classic version, egg-free mayonnaise involves the use of soy milk, perfect for replacing egg whites and yolks in preparations of this type. In addition, this sauce is also suitable for those who are intolerant to eggs.

Before seeing all the preparation steps , remember that you must choose sugar-free soy milk.

Preparation of fake vegan mayonnaise

1. Pour the soy milk, seed oil, salt, lemon juice and mustard or turmeric powder into the blender glass.
2. Start blending intermittently with the immersion blender and continue until you have obtained a smooth cream . It will take approximately 60 seconds .
3. The consistency of the sauce will clearly be different from the classic recipe. To make it thicker you can add an extra drizzle of oil: the proportions of oil and milk in this case are 2:1 and you can also increase it to 3:1. When you are satisfied, pour the vegetable mayonnaise into an airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before serving.

You can replace sunflower seed oil with olive oil in the same proportions, and apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice.
