Hey there, friend!
I have to tell you, making your own vegan mayo has changed my life.
I remember the first time I tried it, I was just blown away by how easy it was and how perfectly it mimicked the traditional stuff.

It whips up beautifully and gives that perfect creamy texture.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep mine in a glass jar - it stays fresh for days and looks pretty in the fridge.
- •If you find it too thick after refrigerating, you can whisk in a little water to loosen it up.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add in a bit of garlic powder or fresh herbs for a flavored mayo.
- •You can even try adding some smoked paprika for a nice smoky twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store your homemade vegan mayo in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best to use it within a week, but I doubt it’ll last that long because it’s so tasty!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of oil?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that different oils will change the flavor. Olive oil gives a more robust taste, while sunflower or canola oil will keep it neutral.
How long does this mayo last?
It should last about a week in the fridge. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container!
