This vegan mayo recipe is a pantry staple for us. I whip up a batch about once a week and use it in different dipping sauces for my Air Fryer Onion Rings, French Fries, and Burgers. I also use this on sandwiches and when I make vegan sushi.
This recipe is one you’ll want to keep on hand because it’s just so useful. It also will save you a ton of money if you use mayo as we do. The base of this mayo is aquafaba and oil so if you find yourself using chickpeas then save the water instead of dumping it down the drain!
First off, what is vegan mayonnaise made of?
Vegan mayo is made of a combination of grapeseed oil, aquafaba, dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. It gets its creaminess from the oil and its frothiness from aquafaba.
What is aquafaba?
Aquafaba is the water in which chickpeas have been cooked. It’s the liquid you find in cans of chickpeas. You can use this as a substitute for egg whites.
