Preparation
Step 1
I am so excited to post this recipe of mine. I have been trying to perfect a yummy and easy vegan mayonnaise recipe for quite some time now and guess what? I believe that this is the perfect vegan mayonnaise. It reminds me so much of a caesar salad type of dressing. You would NEVER know that the main ingredient is silken tofu. I am so happy to share it with you. After I had made it, I left it in the fridge in a jar for a couple of hours to thicken up. When Jerome came home I asked him to try it and at first, he did not believe that I had made it! It is so delicious that he kept eating it with a spoon! Naughty Jerome :) Try it for yourself but make sure you leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours or so to let it thicken up and for the flavours to develop.

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined.
Taste and add more ingredients to your own taste.
You can add any other seasonings to your own desire. You could make parsley or coriander flavoured mayonnaise or add Mediterranean spices and make a spicy mayonnaise. Go for your life!
Hi Jo! I believe that you could freeze it. I froze my homemade tzatziki which is nearly the same ingredients and it was fine! With the mayonnaise I usually make it for a dish such as pasta salad or potato salad and then you can freeze the leftovers for future use. I hope you enjoy it because I love it! Good luck with everything! Feel free to ask me any questions :)
Hi! Thanks for your comment. That is so good that you are undertaking a nearly-vegan lifestyle. I bet you will feel so much better :) The 300g of silken tofu is the average size that can be bought at my supermarket (in Australia) - You should be able to find them in the cold section or if not, in health food stores. It will specifically say "silken tofu" - make sure you get that one and not "firm tofu" or "extra firm tofu". Good luck! Feel free to ask me any questions or contact me if you have any concerns :)
I am going to try the mayo recipe. Wouldn't the firm tofu make this slightly thicker? Or is there some reason that silken is better? I made some vegan sour cream with silken tofu and it was quite good, but a little thin, so I'm just wondering about the mayo. Thanks for all your great recipes.
