I have created an amazing recipe for vegan mayo made with aquafaba, which is essentially the water from a can of chickpeas. This recipe is not only super affordable but also beats any store-bought vegan mayo since it contains no additives, gums, or other harmful ingredients. Best of all, it can be prepared in less than 5 minutes, which is simply fantastic!

Notes on ingredients

Olive oil

I recommend using mild olive oil instead of extra virgin, as using only extra virgin olive oil can make the dish taste overpowering. I tried this at first and found it not very tasty. If you're looking for alternatives, you could use avocado, hemp, or walnut oil instead.

Mustard

I used Dijon mustard. 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, you’d think it was expired or contaminated. This is all the amazing bacteria and yeast that contribute to its healing powers! Read more about the powers of ACV here!
