A delicious mayo which is somewhat less fat than the regular – and which of course can be seasoned to taste exactly as you like.

Ingredients:

1 package silken tofu (300 gr)

2 dl oil – neutral or with a taste that you like in mayo

3 tbsp applecider vinegar

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (Optional)

2 tsp dijon mustard

2 tsp of vegan bouillon powder (Optional)

1 pinch of salt – like Kala Namak / black himalayan salt

Maybe a little spice to taste. Some use a small pinch of curry in the basic mayo.

How to:

Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and blend until they are mixed completely and the silken tofu is creamy and uniform in consistency.

Add the oil a little at a time while blending until it all is incorporated.

Season to taste – maybe you would like a little more salt, vinegar or mustard?

Now you can use your mayo as it is – or adding various flavors if you like. For instance. split into portions and try some different sesonings.

Some of our favorites are:

• chili – fresh or dried
• chipotle – either powder or canned
• garlic
• smoked paprika
• finely zested lemon peel (Replace like the applecider vinegar with lemon juice)
• various herbs, eg. rams, chives, coriander, dill
• karry

When the mayo has been refrigerated a while it will set a little due to. the silken tofu.

We use the mayo everywhere we would otherwise have used an egg-based mayo, but also where we previously would use butter on bread – not with sweets, there we use different nut butters – but e.g.. as a spread under simple delicious veggies as cucumber, tomato or potato, and drizzled well with chopped herbs – yummm. Good for sandwiches and bread where you use fried tofu or vegan/vegetarian meatballs, mushrooms or seitan'meat '.

Season to taste with additional apple cider vinegar or vinegar powder, some sugar, a little salt and maybe. celeriac seeds and use it for coleslaw.
