Servings: 2 cups
Calories: 103kcal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) of soft silken tofu, drained
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons of dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or a blender for one minute or until completely smooth. Taste and adjust the levels of the ingredients to taste.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use silken tofu: This ensures the creamiest, most traditional mayo-like consistency without using an emulsion.
- If it’s too thick: Add some plant-based milk, just a spoonful at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
- Season to taste: After blending, give the tofu mayonnaise a taste and adjust any of the seasoning to your liking.
- Leave it to meld: You can technically use it immediately, but it’ll taste even better after at least an hour of letting the flavors meld. Make it several hours (or overnight) in advance, when possible.
