Learn how to make a creamy and flavorful aquafaba mayonnaise from scratch. This vegan-friendly mayo substitute is perfect for spreading on sandwiches, dolloping on salads, or using as a base for dips and dressings. With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can create a delectable condiment that everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup neutral oil (such as sunflower or grapeseed)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions

  1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the aquafaba, Dijon mustard, salt, and sugar. Blend on high until well combined and frothy.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while the blender is running, until the mixture emulsifies and thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes of continuous blending.
  3. Once the mayonnaise has thickened, add the apple cider vinegar and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to incorporate.
  4. Transfer the mayo to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Use as desired on sandwiches, salads, or as a base for dressings and dips.
  6. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
