Name: CREAMY AND LIGHT VEGAN MAYO
Ingredients: This recipe produces a fluffy and creamy vegan mayo. I combined two separate recipes with minor adjustments to create this mayo. If you want a simpler version prepare this recipe without the aquafaba, use just the tofu. If you want a soy free mayo try the almond milk mayo.; Vegan mayonnaise has a much shorter shelf life than regular commercial mayo.; You can replace the lime juice with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.; For this recipe you will require readymade tinned, cooked chick peas or Kabuli chana. The liquid from these tinned chick peas is called Aquafaba.; Traditional mayo gets its yellow collar from egg yolks. Since vegan mayo doesn't have yolks you can add yellow mustard paste, pinch turmeric (be careful as this is a strong flavour) yellow miso paste and a variety of natural ingredients. I sometimes use natural marigold color when I don't want any flavour.; If you prefer not to use any of these your mayo will have a lighter color.; Makes approx 1 3/4 cups; 200 GRAMS SILKEN TOFU DRAINED COMPLETELY; 1 CUP REFINED FLAVOR FREE OIL -CANOLA, SAFFLOWER, SOY BEAN, CORN,PEANUT,VEGETABLE, RICE BRAN; 1/2 KG (15-16 oz) TIN OF CHICK PEAS (COOKED KABULI CHANA); 1/2 TBSP LIME JUICE; 1/2 TSP HABANERO CHILLI SAUCE OR A HOT SAUCE OF YOUR CHOICE OR 1 TEASPOON SPICY MUSTARD PASTE (OPTIONAL); SALT TO TASTE

This recipe produces a fluffy and creamy vegan mayo. I combined two separate recipes with minor adjustments to create this mayo. If you want a simpler version prepare this recipe without the aquafaba, use just the tofu. If you want a soy free mayo try the almond milk mayo.
Vegan mayonnaise has a much shorter shelf life than regular commercial mayo.
You can replace the lime juice with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
For this recipe you will require readymade tinned, cooked chick peas or Kabuli chana. The liquid from these tinned chick peas is called Aquafaba.
Traditional mayo gets its yellow collar from egg yolks. Since vegan mayo doesn't have yolks you can add yellow mustard paste, pinch turmeric (be careful as this is a strong flavour) yellow miso paste and a variety of natural ingredients. I sometimes use natural marigold color when I don't want any flavour.
If you prefer not to use any of these your mayo will have a lighter color.
Makes approx 1 3/4 cups
200 GRAMS SILKEN TOFU DRAINED COMPLETELY
1 CUP REFINED FLAVOR FREE OIL -CANOLA, SAFFLOWER, SOY BEAN, CORN,PEANUT,VEGETABLE, RICE BRAN
