I've created a brilliant recipe for vegan mayonnaise using aquafaba, which is the liquid from a can of chickpeas. This recipe is incredibly budget-friendly and outshines any store-bought vegan mayo, containing no additives, gums, or harmful ingredients. Plus, it can be whipped up in under five minutes, which is simply fantastic!
This vegan mayonnaise recipe tastes so good that you would find it hard to believe it's not made with eggs. It's perfect for those who have egg allergies or are following a plant-based diet.
You can use this vegan mayo exactly the same way you would regular mayo, and you can customise it with herbs, garlic, or lemon. What are you waiting for? Try this delicious vegan mayo recipe now!
Notes on ingredients
Olive oil
I recommend using mild olive oil or a really good quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for this vegan mayo recipe. If you're looking for alternatives, you could use avocado, hemp, or walnut oil instead.
Mustard
I used Dijon mustard for this vegan mayo recipe. You could use wholegrain or French or omit this if you prefer. Take a look here for gluten-free brands of Dijon.
Apple cider vinegar ( with the mother)
Apple cider vinegar ( ACV) with “the mother” is an unrefined, unpasteurised, unfiltered version of apple cider vinegar. It’s full of gut-friendly probiotics called acetic acid bacteria. If you’ve ever bought the mother ACV, you know that it even looks different than filtered or “regular” apple cider vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar with “the mother” is darker and looks like it has stuff floating around in it, which, if you didn’t know what it was, it would make you think it was expired or contaminated. These are all the amazing bacteria and yeast that contribute to its healing powers! Read more about the powers of ACV here!
