Vegan Aioli (Oil-Free).- You only need 5 ingredients to make this vegan aioli. It's delicious, creamy, oil-free and ready in less than 5 minutes.

Aioli was my favorite sauce when I wasn’t vegan and also after I went vegan because I learnt how to make an egg-free version using soy milk instead, but as it’s so high in fat, I didn’t make it very often until I discovered this wonderful vegan aioli recipe. I can’t believe it’s oil-free, made with natural ingredients and tastes SO GOOD.

I’ve always used unsalted raw cashews to make this recipe, but if you can’t find them, you could try to use roasted or salted cashews instead. Please don’t use fried cashews, they’re not healthy at all and are usually made with refined oils. If you can’t find any type of cashews, try our vegan green aioli (omit the spinach if you want).
