Vegan Mayonnaise

Vegan Mayonnaise

Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce box tofu, firm (self-stable type)
  • 1 cup cashews, raw
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt (or to taste)

Instructions

    1: Add ingredients to a blender or food processor.
    2: Blend until very smooth.
    3: Chill well before using. The mayonnaise will thicken as it chills

Notes

I use a shelf stable tofu that does not need refrigerated before opening. If you use a refrigerated tofu, drain out the extra liquid.
You can use soft tofu if you desire a softer mayonnaise consistency.
Adjust seasonings to your taste.
