Notes
This recipe makes 1 ½ cups of vegan mayo.
While it seems like using any plant-based milk would be a good idea, it's been tested that soymilk is the best for making mayo as it contains natural emulsifiers that thicken the mayo the way that eggs would.
When purchasing your soymilk, make sure it is unflavored and unsweetened!
Any vinegar will work in this recipe if you don’t have apple cider vinegar, just be aware that the taste may change depending on the flavor of the vinegar. Lemon juice makes an excellent substitute as well.
Letting the soymilk come to room temperature is very important, so do not skip this step or the mayo will not properly emulsify and blend together.
Be sure to taste the mayo after you blend it to adjust seasonings. The flavor will be best after it sits in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
