Creamy Vegan Mayo: A Simple, Dairy-Free Spread

This vegan mayo is made from soaked cashew nuts.  Silky and smooth, you can spread it on sandwiches or use it in salads such as coleslaw.

This egg-free and gluten-free alternative to conventional mayo has no added sweetener. It is so easy to make and you can customise it to your own taste.

Keep it plain or make it your own by adding your favourite herbs. Basil, tarragon, chives, parsley etc… all work well here. Such a tasty and delicious condiment.

You can also use it to make my vegan potato salad.

How to make this vegan mayo

You will need to soak the cashews first by covering with water and leaving them to soak for 4 hrs to overnight. (Alternatively, place the cashews in a bowl, cover them with boiling water and set aside to soak for 20 minutes).

Once the cashews are soft, all you have to do is to whizz them in a blender with the rest of the ingredients (except herbs, salt and pepper) until smooth. You can then season and add the herbs of your choice.

Once made, transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Here are more dip and sauce recipes you may like to try:

  • HERBY CASHEW CREAM CHEESE [VEGAN]
  • VEGAN TZATZIKI
  • CHIPOTLE MAYO
  • AQUAFABA MAYO
