This recipe makes a pint of mayo. If you’re not likely to use that much within two or three weeks, consider making a half batch or freezing what you can’t use right away.

Ingredients

• 1 12.3 ounce package firm silken tofu (see note)
• 1/2 cup raw cashews (about 2 ounces)
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard, any variety
• 1/8 teaspoon granulated onion powder
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Drain water from tofu and place it and all other ingredients except salt in a high-speed blender. Blend at highest speed until light and creamy. Add salt to taste and blend again. Seal tightly and keep refrigerated. Stir before each use.
Notes
I recommend either Mori-Nu Organic Silken Tofu or Mori-Nu Lite Firm Tofu. Both are non-GMO, though the Lite uses Isolated Soy Protein.
Variations
To make this in a food processor or regular blender, use 1/3 cup of cashew butter instead of cashews and process until smooth.
