Vegan Mayo

Part of the fun of being a Vegan Nutritarian is experimenting.  The kitchen really does become a science lab.

I tried this recipe out making Chickpea “Tuna” Salad and it was amazing.

Fat-Free Sugar-Free Vegan Mayo
  • non-dairy milk (soy, coconut - just for colour)
  • water
  • cornstarch
  • lemon juice
  • mustard (optional)
  • pepper (optional)
  • garlic powder (optional)

    Depending on how much of this you want to prepare, start with a half cup of water, a tablespoon of non-dairy milk, and a half tablespoon of cornstarch.

    If it does not thicken, add in more cornstarch and keep stirring.  Adjust till you get the consistency you want.

    Finally, use the rest of the ingredients or any selection you like, to adjust the taste to your liking.
  1. Pour the milk, water, and cornstarch into a small pot and heat on medium, stirring frequently, until it becomes thick - but take it off the heat before it becomes too thick: it should be thinner in consistency than mayonnaise because it gets thicker when it cools.
  2. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.  Add the remaining ingredients, blending them in well.  Adjust flavours to your liking.
  3. Use it immediately, or if you want to put it in the fridge, make sure you whisk it really well to make it smooth again before using.
