Ingredients needed to make vegan mayonnaise.
- Aquafaba- ½ cup. This is the water that is found in a can of chickpeas. Simply drain the water from the can and you have your aquafaba.
- Dijon Mustard– 1 tablespoon.
- Apple Cider Vinegar– 1 tablespoon.
- Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings, Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.
- Oil- 1 cup. Good choices include sunflower oil, canola oil, or even a flavorful olive oil.
How to Make Vegan Mayo
- Use a jar or container that is close to the same size as your immersion blender. I like using a canning jar as the vegan mayonnaise can also be stored in it. Be sure to use a jar or container that can withstand the immersion blender.
- Place the aquafaba, Dijon mustard, and vinegar in the container that you will be using to make this in.
- Slowly pour the oil in as you pulse the blender. To do this start pulsing the blender and simultaneously add the oil. Add the oil slowly to give time for the emulsion to happen. Lift the blender softly to let some air inside the mix as you work. Keep pulsing the blender while adding the rest of the oil until it is all incorporated and combined. You will notice how the mixture starts to emulsify and thicken.
- Add the seasoning as desired.
