This post is an amazing recipe that I like to call raw mayonnaise. And I’ll be honest with you, it is a recipe I do over and over again. It is a not-to-be-missed recipe. If you still have some doubts about eating plant-based, this recipe will change your mind and your view about eating plants.
I will describe it as a super smooth ‘cashew cream’. Actually this is THE super healthy mayonnaise : oil free, dairy free and even egg free. Because you make it from scratch, you know exactly what is inside : only delicious plant-based ingredients to get all the benefits for your body and mind.
Furthermore once you get into the taste and texture of this healthy mayonnaise, you’ll become obsessed.
On top of it, it’s super quick to make (no cooking require). You need to soak the cashews first (overnight or for 4 hours) and then, you blend all the ingredients together. Nothing else.
Curious about the ingredients?
This delicious raw mayonnaise contains soaked cachews, mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon, garlic, tofu, salt and pepper.
Finally since I cook this vegan mayonnaise (100% raw) recipe, I use it with almost everything. It’s my dairy free sauce (unprocessed) to top my black charcoal pizza, radicchio salad, lunch quinoa wraps, etc….
Where is the smoothness coming from?
My little secret for this dairy free raw mayonnaise recipe is the generous splash of silky tofu to reach a lovely texture (this creaminess is insane) and to add a hit of protein. It is important to go for silk tofu for the texture. If you go for firm or extra firm tofu, the texture will not be the same.
Best of all, you can always adjust the ingredients to your own taste : more lemon, more mustard, more pepper !
Top Tip
On top of the silk tofu, the best way to have an incredible creamy texture for this plant-based mayonnaise is to blend it in a high speed blender (vitamix or blendtec would work perfectly). I guess that a nutribullet will do the job as well.
You can save this healthy mayonnaise in a glass jar for about 3 days and don’t stop to eat it…it’s healthy !
