Description

This vegan cashew mayo is creamy, rich, and delicious. It’s easy to make and can be used in a variety of recipes, from sandwiches and salads to dips.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews (unsalted and unroasted)
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place cashews in a glass container, cover with room temperature water, and soak for 4 hours or overnight. For a quicker method, pour boiling water over the cashews and let them soak for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Drain and rinse the cashews, then transfer them to a blender along with filtered water (the amount specified in the recipe), lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, nutritional yeast flakes, and olive oil. Blend until very smooth and creamy. (I used my Nutribullet.) Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  3. Transfer the cashew mayo to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. The mayo will thicken up as it chills.

Notes

Before using the mayo, give it a stir as it may separate during storage.

If you want to experiment with different flavors, such as spicy cashew mayo, try adding some optional ingredients. You can find some ideas in the ‘Variations & additions’ section.
