  • Cashews: I love raw unsalted cashews in this recipe – there’s no need to get roasted nuts, as the raw cashews make the perfect creamy addition to this recipe.
  • Whole Grain Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture. Using a really good mustard makes all the difference, so don’t use the basic yellow stuff for this recipe.
  • Garlic or Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
  • Water

The Best Blender Vegan Mayo 

I made this vegan mayo sauce in my Vitamix. I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp.  I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces like this or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis! Hello smoothies.

How Do I Make Mayo without Eggs?

  1. Soak cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse.
  2. Add all of the below ingredients to a blender, and blend well to combine, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer sauce to a serving bowl, and top with black pepper for an optional garnish.
  4. Spread on a sandwich, enjoy as a dip, or use in a creamy dressing!  Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 2 days.
