I didn’t eat mayonnaise very often when I wasn’t vegan because it’s not a healthy food and is also full of fat. Although vegan mayonnaise is healthier and cholesterol-free, it’s not a healthy food either, so I eat it occasionally.

You only need 4 ingredients to make this recipe: oil, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) and sea salt, that’s all! It’s ready in just 2 minutes and tastes even better than traditional mayonnaise, seriously. It’s also healthier than store bought vegan mayos, which are full of preservatives and additives (at least the ones I’ve found here in Spain).

I always use soy milk to make my vegan mayonnaise because it has a similar consistency to cow’s milk, which it’s also used to make mayo, instead of using eggs. I prefer to use non refined sunflower oil, but you can use other types of oils if you want. I also tried to make this recipe using extra virgin olive oil and it worked as well, but it has a strong flavor, that’s why I prefer to use sunflower oil. You can use lemon juice instead of the apple cider vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unrefined sunflower oil (220 g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk (120 ml)
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. It’s really important the milk and the oil are at the same temperature, that way the mayonnaise is easier to make. I’ve made mayo using cold milk and oil at room temperature and sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn’t.
  2. I usually use an immersion blender, but I’ve also tried to make it using a regular blender and it works as well, although I think it’s easier to make with an immersion blender.
  3. If you’re using an immersion blender: combine all the ingredients in the blender cup, place the immersion blender in, so that way it sits firmly on the bottom of the cup and pulse until the mayonnaise emulsify. Once most of the vegan mayo has emulsified, you can move the blender up and down to incorporate any oil that is sitting on the top.
  4. If you’re using a regular blender: place all the ingredients in the blender, except the oil and blend for about 5 seconds. Then add the oil gradually while the blender is going, turned it gradually from low to high and let it go until thickens.
  5. Try the mayonnaise and add more salt if needed. If it’s too thick, add more milk and if is too watery add more oil. Pulse again until the mayonnaise has the perfect consistency.
  6. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days.

Notes

  • This recipe also works with other types of oil like canola or extra virgin olive oil (although olive oil has a really strong flavor).
  • I’ve tried to use almond milk and it worked as well, although it was less thick.
  • Lemon juice can be used instead of the apple cider vinegar.
  • Some readers have added some mustard to make the mayo more tasty and less white.
  • If you add a clove of garlic at the beginning, you can make a delicious vegan aioli.

      • Hi! I made this recipe and my omnivore family loved it. So thank You! I also want to share an experiment based on this recipe. My family suggested that it would make a great frosting if mixed with powdered sugar. Skipping the salt and vinager of course.
        I was intrigued, and tried it on a birthday cake. I must say, it pipes like a dream, holds the shape, tastes like whipped cream. I made it more thick adding more oil.There you go, if You want to try.

      • Has anyone tried this with soy milk made from powdered soy milk mix? I do not have a lot of use for soy milk, and it tends to go bad before I can use it all. (Not that it matters, but that happened with regular milk too.)

        Reply

        • I tried it; it doesn’t work, in the sense that it remains rather watery…powdered milk has a different fat content, and therefore the “emulsion” does not occur; i.e mayonnaise is the emulsion of two fats; that normally don’t mix, but due to the incorporation of air between the molecules, form the delicious spread.

          I attempted it with the powdered milk, and it was difficult to emulsify, I eventually added some liquid milk, and it worked like a charm!

      • I am beyond confused/angry. I made this four times prior to the last SIX times of utter frustration. I have spent over $72.00 in Organic Sunflower Oil and over $46.00 in Unsweetened Soy Milk within the last five weeks—-I have had to throw out every single one of the last six “batches” of mayonnaise (vegan). Watery and curdled. Again, the times prior were fine; now, I am literally and figuratively throwing money away. The ingredients and the measurements ( from the initial attempts and these last disasters) have remained PRECISELY the same. What the heck?
        I fully realize I shall not receive a response. One may only hope.

        • Hi Karen! I’m so sorry the recipe didn’t work for you, but it’s our most popular recipe and our readers are so happy with it. Were the oil and the milk at the same temperature? Have you used an immersion blender?

          • Hello! Have had the same issue when using a different blender than usual. It seems that when I use a regular “slow” blender I have no issues with it separating but when I’ve used a better quality, high speed blender it has separated! So I think the trick is to blend at a lower speed. Managed to rescue a batch that was starting to separate by simply turning down the speed 🙂 hope this helps!

        • Hi, I can understand your splitting or separation issue. I did it in a Nutra-ninja, just bunged it all in and it was fine, if a bit runny, but that happens (along with separation) because you generally shouldn’t do that (I get lazy). Just try it the way you do an egg based mayo. Very slowly drizzle in the oil, very slowly, until it just thickens, and then you can pour it in more quickly. It needs to emulsify (in short, to thicken). Soy is mostly water and oil is mostly, well, itself, and neither the two shall meet amicably until you add the lemon juice (or cider). The latter makes the opposites attract, an “emulsifier.” To really emulsify, you have to drizzle in the oil after the water (soy) and lemon juice have been blended. You should be just fine then (and the temps would have less of an effect). I can’t remember which version lemon juice follows, but as an emulsifier it either gets water on one end and and oil on the other (and presto) or it surrounds the water and the oil sticks to it. Anyway, that should save your expensive ingredients (shopping at a cheaper store would help too!).

    • I rather have one without soy, soy is most of it ,
      GMO in the USA no matter what they tell you or how they label it, besides that, it creates lots of problems related to hormones, /endocrines/ and others.

      thank you for sharing recipe however, i will try it with different milk.

      • Hi Angelina! Soy is not as bad as most people think. People in Japan consume it all the time and they’re the healthiest people on the planet. Besides, most GMO soy is usually for feeding the animals, so we should avoid animal foods, not soy. Have a nice day!

        Reply

        • To note: it’s not a matter of “soy is bad!!”. The endocrine system can sometimes react badly to certain foodstuffs for those of us with conditions relating to the thyroid (like myself), or more generally food sensitivities and allergies (GMO products can also do this due to how their structures have been changed). It’s not that “soy is bad”, it’s “our immune system reacts negatively to it and can further impact other health conditions”. Soy is inflammatory for some, which triggers an autoimmune response, and in people like me and possibly Angelina, this means the autoimmune system is further impacted. So we look for other alternatives, even from vegan foods because they aren’t “safe” for us to consume.

          So with that in mind: you mention almond milk in the description. The almond-i-ness doesn’t overpower the flavour? (I’ve found this to be a problem in some savoury things in my experimenting, so I’m a little concerned–I miss being able to use mayo, though!) And how would you suggest thickening it to make up for the difference in texture?

          • Hi Corvid! Thank you SO MUCH for your comment 🙂 I’ve tried this recipe using almond milk and I like it, especially if you use an almond milk made with almonds and water, nothing else. Hope you like it!

      • To Angelina – soy is great, and not dangerous. Yes, GMO soy is questionable, largely because of the huge levels of pesticides associated with it, but organic soy is a perfect food for vegetarians.

        I’m not saying you should eat it (or any food) all day every day, but it’s certainly appropriate to have a few servings per day.

        By the way, the amount of soy in even a large serving of this recipe is trivial. The fat would be of more concern.

        • I will not touch Soy beans, Monsanto has his dirty hands all over it. I’m from South America and they have destroyed the jungles to farm Soy beans and export it to the USA, because they want to cash in the vegan’s North American’s fever. I do not trust China’s soy beans either. I don’t think soy is safe. 🙁 … you can read Wikipedia and read between the lines. I will try the recipe with other milk.
          Love your recipes. Keep up the good work

          • Hi Patricia! This soy is for the animals, not for humans, so don’t be afraid of consuming soy 🙂 Have a nice day!

      • Non-GMO Soy is such, non-GMO. I know the dairy and meat industries spend massive marketing funds to discredit soy and a vegan lifestyle, wonder how come? Soy is lately proven to not disrupt hormones. Read “Clean Protein”, it has up-to-date information on such! Peace!

            I need to see this info on soy being a healthy food. Fermented soy is the only kind that I have researched to be beneficial and doesn’t have harmful anti-nutrients.
            And I’m curious why this mayo is considered unhealthy, iosune?

        • Hi Charlie! There’s so many info online, just google it 🙂 It’s high in fat because is made with oil, which is a processed food. You should eat mayo in moderation 🙂

  2. Oh my! I really wanna try this! I saw other recipes and they seemed so confusing and complex just to make a single jar of mayo. Thank you!

    If I can’t find it, can I use the regular one?

    • yes you can use sweetened soya milk…just made it today and it still tastes just like mayonnaise and not sweet at all. I think a lot of commercial mayonnaises contain sugar anyway.. 🙂

  8. I just ran out of mayonnaise before I stumbled across this post, and that’s probably a sign that I should make this recipe! I like this take on mayo (I’ve never made any kind of mayo before), and it seems like a good recipe to start with. Love the simplicity! Thank you for sharing.

          Reply

    • Her recipe used Sunflower oil, not olive oil. She mentioned if you used olive oil it would have a strong flavor. You should not have given one star.

      Reply

    • So it’s not fair to just give one star if you used virgin olive oil when the recipe states that it is a strong taste.

      Reply

    • If you google the problem with olive oil, you’ll get a wealth of info on why it becomes bitter. Apparently though, you can use it as an addition at the end, if you’re after the flavor. But, you cannot use it as the main oil. I used canola, because that’s what i had, and it rocked. Google olive oil if you want to discover why it doesn’t blend well. Cheers!

      Reply

    • I’ve done extra light (not virgin) olive oil in past mayo recipes – much much lighter taste. So there’s an extra option.

      Reply

    • I don’t understand why you would say the recipe didn’t work (and give it one star) when you changed a main component of the recipe. Sunflower is more tasteless so it would lend itself well to this recipe. If you decide to use Olive Oil, then it’s your version of the recipe that failed, not the original one 🙂

    • I didn’t have any soy milk at the house, I am not a vegan and was just looking for an eggless mayo. I decided to give it a go with regular milk The only thing I did differently, is I added the lemon juice after it emulsified, and added about a tbsp. of Dijon mustard. It was perfect! It tastes almost exactly like regular mayo!!

Almond milk is tasty, but i’ve read it will give you more watery results. Seriously, TRY soy milk! It’s chock-full of calcium and protein, and you won’t regret it!

  21. I have tried every vegan mayo recipe on the web. Or at least I thought so until today. I made this one assuming it would end up a disappointing gloopy mess like all the others.
    Oh my what a lovely surprise! It turned out perfectly. Two non vegans in my house pronounced it as good if not better than their preferred brand of non vegan mayo. The flavour is perfect but it is the consistency which really amazed me.
    I confess I hadn’t used an immersion blender in the past and I think that had a lot to do with it. The only slight change I made was a little mustard to enhance the flavour.
    Thank you so much. Coleslaw is back on my menu!

  23. I have made this recipe a few times and I am excited to get it thicker at some point. Maybe if I use homemade nut milk rather than store-bought but maybe it’s the oil I am using instead or that all my ingredients are not at room-temp? BTW—> Where can I find unrefined Sunflower oil online? It certainly isn’t anywhere local to me and I can’t find it on Amazon or Thrive Market or Vitacost… I would love to use an unrefined, healthy oil if possible but need to find one first. 🙂 Thanks for an easy egg-free mayo recipe (even if mine is only quasi-thick).

Pour the milk and the vinegar in the blender and blend for a few seconds, don’t turn off the blender and add the oil gently. When the mayo is ready, you can add salt to taste and blend for a few seconds. Hope it works for you!

      • Thanks for answering so quickly! I put nearly the double quantity of oil! My problem (because I tried it twice!) is, for how long should I keep the immersion blender running before I lift it to incorporate the oil at the surface? Because I just couldn’t tell if it had thickened. I kept it almost 1 to 1,5 minutes, the blender was so hot afterwards, I thought I’d burn it!!!

  34. 5 stars from me! I have tried so many different vegan mayonnaise recipes and they all just did not thicken up. This one did! I also was not aware of the tip of keeping the soy milk at same temperature as the oil, and maybe that was it. I only saw that because I read the comments. Perhaps you could write that in the directions, for people who do not read the comments? I think it will lead to a bigger success rate for people trying out your recipe!
    Thank you for the recipe!

  36. A word of advice for people struggling with this recipe. Despite following the recipe to the letter my first attempt failed miserably. I think it was my cheap not up to the Job stick blender so…. I got the hand mixer out (the type you hold with two beaters that click in) got another 1/2 cup of soy milk added the lemon juice and other flavourings whizzed it for thirty secs and then started gradually drizzling in the oil. It worked a lot better and I managed to encorporate my 1st failed batch also.
    5* recipe, I just didn’t have the tools for the job.

  38. Excellent!! Because I have unique food sensitivities I had to change the majority of the ingredients. The result was fabulous because your proportions are perfect! Thank you for creating such a terrific recipe.

  41. This recipe has been such a disappointment. I’m not an idiot, I know how to follow a recipe. Organic sunflower oil comes with a hefty price tag here in Germany – and this recipe let me down. Hard.

    Did everything the recipe calls for, and my mayo concoction is still a sloppy mess. There is no fluffy delicious mayo in this household (because vegan mayo is also very difficult to find in a shop in Germany – at least the ones I’ve checked at), which means my *other* recipe which was waiting on some mayo – egg salad mixture, vegan – will also be ruined.

    • Hi Katie! I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. This mayo is one of the most popular recipes in the blog and our followers love it! What happened exactly? If the milk and the oil are at the same temperature the mayo is easier to make. Have a nice day!

      Reply

      • Yes, thank you. Like I said, I know how to read and follow recipes, and I make a point of following any bits of advice that the creator/author adds (having both milk and oil at the same temperature). The issue, it seems, was a combination of immersion blender (which didn’t work at all, and actually killed mine), and having all of the ingredients added at the same time. I found and followed a different recipe (only slightly different, for taste), which, like yours, suggests the oil and milk be at room temperature, but instructs that the oil be added lastly, and gradually (which I did, into my stand blender). Unlike your recipe, that one worked. For those of your readership who have the same difficulties I had (to the tune of 6€, not cheap as a newly married student couple), that particular adjustment might make the end result less (and hopefully not at all) bitter.

  42. Hi, I haven’t had mayo since I became vegan and would really love to give this recipe a try!!

    I unfortunately only have a normal blender. I also only have lemon juice and not vinegar. Will it taste the same? What to do about the blender?

    Love the idea though.

    • Hi Mijke! You can use lemon as well 😉 I’ve made this mayo using a regular blender and it worked, but sometimes I had to add more oil… I place all the ingredients except the oil, blend them for about 5 seconds and then I add the oil gently while the blender is on. Hope it works for you!

  43. Hi Louise, great recipe, I made it twice with no problem, even though I only have a jug blender, then yesterday I tried to make more, same ingredients and equipment and I have tried 4 batches and they all curdled. I live in Thailand and the ingredients aren’t the highest quality, but I use the best I can get, the ACV I used was Braggs, sea salt, 100% Sunflower oil and soy milk, I even tried Almond milk but all the same??? I even sterilised all my equipment with Hydrogen peroxide still curdles – have yo any idea?

  51. I followed your instructions and ingredient list substituting olive oil for the sunflower oil (as you said it is a possible substitution and I like the flavor) and I used rice milk as the plant based milk. Combined all ingredients in a jar and used an immersion blender and ended up with a jar full of yellow juice. No emulsifying, no thickening (yes I tried adding more oil). Any suggestions or corrections?

  56. OH M. G., i cannot believe a mayo made with so few ingredients could taste this good. Rich and decadent. I’m sure it’s chock full of calories, but i am not going to be eating it by the tablespoonful. I only had canola oil (or EVOO, which was warned against), and it ABSOLUTELY ROCKS. I’m using this in a chickpea salad recipe for a potluck. Cheers, thanks so much! Also, it took two seconds to make, for anyone who’s wondering.

  58. Well I never! Having recently started following a vegan diet, I am slowly coming to terms with trying to find decent alternatives to some of my favourite foods… mostly dairy and egg based (never been a big meat eater) i.e. cheese, ice cream and oh yes, mayonnaise! I bought some ‘Mayola’ a few days ago and I can’t lie, it was so disgusting I wouldn’t feed it to my dogs! So, having just found your recipe I dashed into the kitchen and started raiding my cupboards…. 5 minutes later and voila! I’ll confess to using sweetened Soya milk as I didn’t have any unsweetened in the fridge, which probably hasn’t yielded the best results (don’t worry, I’ll be trying unsweetened next time I go to the shop!), THAT SAID it tastes delicious! I got a bit dash-happy with the cyder vinegar and also added a good few teaspoons of dijon mustard but YUM! I suspect I was trying to compensate for the sweet milk so I will definitely try it again with unsweetened and might even try Almond milk. I thought I’d never be able to eat mayonnaise again! Thank you! Oh and also, I had no problem with blending – I used a hand blender and the oil was at room temperature whilst the milk was fridge temp. Worked like a charm! 🙂

    • Halleigh, I highly recommend that you research about the ingredient in almond milk. I assume that you are looking for more healthy alternative. The amount of almond milk in a 64 oz container is negligible (2%). A 64 oz of pure almond milk will cost you $192. I emailed one of the company and they refuse to disclosed as to what is the amount of almond. Also, do not fall “Natural”; remember that arsenic is 100% natural. Keep with organic soy milk.

  73. Has anybody tried this recipe with soy bean oil? I used sunflower oil and followed the recipe to the letter and my mayo tasted bitter. Maybe the oil I used was off? It was a brand new bottle of clearspring organic sunflower oil. I tried to fix the flavour by adding extra apple cider vinegar and also freshly squeezed lemon, salt, mustard powder, garlic powder but there’s still an obvious bitter taste which is definitely related to the oil content. The extra ingredients improved the flavour but it’s still very bitter… The consistency is perfect but the taste isn’t amazing. I will try again with soy bean oil instead. I usually buy follow your heart organic veganaise which uses soy bean oil and it’s delicious. I’d just prefer to be able to make my own as it’s expensive!

    • I also added some rice malt syrup to try to make it less bitter but it made no difference. For the people saying it didn’t thicken, I used a really basic blender and mine thickened in a matter of 2 seconds! I kept my oil and soy milk in the fridge overnight before blending… Maybe that’s why? All oils should be stored in the fridge anyway to stop them from spoiling.

    I read several comments but did not find the info I was looking for.

    Like you I do not eat very much mayonnaise. So, by the pictures this recipe makes at least 1 cup of mayo.

    How long does this stay good? Firm?

    I’ve made regular mayo in the past and succeeded very well, but after 3-4 days it has fallen.

    I don’t eat enough for it to be worth making +/- 1 cup and then losing it after 4 days.

Used canola oil, forgot the salt, but it doesn’t matter. I will cut the recipe in 3 and season them differently. I’m thinking strong mustard and maple syrup. Sriracha. Or 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, 1/2 soya sauce….. oh maybe some garlic and herbs. Thanks this is a great recipe. I have +/- 1/2 a cup of Hellman’s left, when that is finished, never again.

    I made it in my food processor, blended the soy milk, vinegar and garlic for about 5 seconds, and then I added the oil in a pencil-line thin stream–that took somewhere between one and two minutes. After adding the oil, I let it blend for another 30-45 seconds.

    Based upon some other salad dressings I have made over the years, I’d suggest that if you are having difficulty getting the mayo to set up, it would be best to have both the soy milk and oil chilled. They definitely both need to be at the same temperature, but being chilled gives them a better chance of setting up (Physics!) I had my oil in the refrigerator for at least 72 hours before making this–but that is almost certainly much more than is necessary. Probably 6-8 hours will get it thoroughly chilled.

    I definitely plan to make this again, and try some variation.

    Great recipe. Thanks.

  128. The recipe doesn’t work with oat milk. I tried it yesterday and it came out very watery. I tried adding more oil, but nothing changed. My parents didn’t like it. They say, it tastes more like vinegar than mayo. I’ll try it with lemon juice and soya milk again. Sorry. But thanks for sharing the recipe and your ideas. Have a great week!

  129. Best Mayo ever!!! I just cant get enough of it 😛
    I use a bit of sweet mustard and the garlic. I am never ever buying mayo again. I seriously never imagined vegan mayo could be so much better than the regular one!
    Awesome Recipe!!! Forever Thankful 🙂

  130. I never post replies but this was reply worthy! I’ve recently turned vegan and tried this receipe and it was a winner for me and my non-vegan family. It was more tasty than the store bought mayo we’re all used to. Bonus was that it’s healthy. Then I decided to find a vegan ranch receipe. Well all of them used a vegan pre-made mayo as the main components. So I decided to adjust this mayo receipe and add some ingredients to it to make my ranch. Success! Best ranch dressing I’ve ever had. Just added some garlic and onion powder and fresh parsley a little more vinegar and oil and VIOLA! The best ranch dressing ever. Thank you for posting this receipe. I will grow healthier from this. And so will my non vegan family.

  132. More demonizing of fat. Not all fat is bad for you. In fact, a lot of it is good for you. Use rapeseed oil when making this and you’ll be getting tons of monounsaturated fat (super heart-healthy) Though it will likely change the flavor.

  140. When I think of all those non-vegan mayo recipes which I never dared to try years ago when I still was vegetarian: “carefully mix, then add this and that really slowly, then…” For that reason I wasn’t really looking for vegan ones as I was certain they would be likewise complicated. And then they stopped selling my fave brand. And then ba-aam: this recipe! It was a perfection and great success literally within 2 seconds! Though I did not really like the one with sunflower oil, but that’s my problem, I’m not big fan of how sunflowers taste in general. As I was mixing it with mustard, horseradish or tomato paste for different dishes, the problem of the side taste disappeared. And grapeseed oil proved to be the best choice for the mayo lovers who do not enjoy any oil side tastes 🙂 Thank you for this amazing recipe!

  141. good recipe. omnivore mayo does not use milk and it is also cholesterol free. Mayo is made from egg whites and oil – spinning quickly in a blender or with a stick blender in a cup. I am very excited to try this recipe of yours. Keep up the good work.

  142. This is the best mayo-recipe ever. 😀 Tastes almost exactly like non-vegan mayo. And it’s so simple.

    Is almond milk the best alternative for soy? Will it thicken like soy? I’ve recently cut out soy of my diet, because I’m allergic and it’s time to accept it. (Even though soy has been a staple in my diet for 15years, I’m so sad xD) I’ve tried both oat and cashew-milk but it never got as thick as soy… what other milks have people tried?

    Thank you so much for this recipe.

    • Hi Louise! Thank you so much 🙂 I’ve only used almond milk, so I don’t know if there’s a better alternative for soy milk. Almond mayo is not as thick as soy mayo, but it’s still delicious 🙂

  143. Thank you for your timely response. YES, I did follow your instructions and I did/do make sure the soy milk and oil are the same temperature (refrigerated). As stated, the procedure worked four times. It has been a watery nothingness the last six times—I tried again last night—-watery. Now SEVEN TIMES. You did write you do use an immersion blender, but a blender (which I bought specifically for this recipe) would be sufficient (according to you). Again, last night was another failure. I tested the measurements in my measuring cup to the point of ad nauseam. I noted “Katie” has the same issues as I. I now have five cartons of Unsweetened Soy Milk @$4.59 per carton and three bottles of Sunflower Oil @ $7.59 per bottle in my refrigerator. You would not believe how far I had to drive to get those ingredients. I am digressing. I would appreciate any suggestions. I simply cannot afford to have these expensive items sitting in my refrigerator and, because I did buy a blender specifically for your vegan mayo recipe, I cannot afford to buy an immersion blender as well.

    • Hi Karen! You can make the recipe using a regular blender, but it’s not as easy as using an immersion blender, which I use most of the time. I also prefer to use the milk and oil at room temperature, but refrigerated is also find. I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you, but this recipe have worked for most of my readers. If you follow my recipe, it should work…

  145. I have made this mayo about 3 times now. It worked every single time even if my ingredients were not the same temperature. I use cheap soya milk from Aldi (UK), I think it’sabout 3.2% protein per 100 ml(costs about 60 pence per litre!) and sunflower oil.
    First time I made it in the big blender but it was a bit too messy and the blender cup was too big and I had to run it for several minutes and scrape etc., but it still worked somehow. I now have a hand blender and it works wonders – I have mayo in less than a minute, I tend to add the vinegar after the other ingredients have blended a bit as otherwise the milk separates too quickly and that makes me a bit anxious, even though it works anyway. So good! Thank you for this recipe, I still cannot get over how easy and cheap it is and it does taste like mayonese..
    I also add a little bit of powdered garlic and some dried dill. Makes the taste so much better

  146. I have been making traditional mayonnaise for a couple of decades. The quality of the eggs can make or break the recipe. Today I made this vegan recipe as there are more and more people I know who are now vegan. I added a couple cloves of minced garlic, seeded Dijon mustard, mango chutney, and a little chili paste. The most delicious and easy mayonnaise I have ever encountered. I added extra oil to thicken it a bit. Spectacular result. Better than so may other vegan mayo recopies I have tried. The flavour is exactly like a traditional mayonnaise. Thank you so very much for your posts.

  147. i m running vegan restaurants in Surabaya, Indonesia
    I have tried the many recipe similar to your recipe, all taste good.
    problem is, they separate in fridge after 2 – 3 days

    then a food tech suggested adding ‘pectin.’
    the mayo is thicker and last longer in the fridge, however it still separates after 6 days, making it difficult to prepare in busy restaurant kitchen

    Anybody have any suggestion?

  149. I was looking for an egg-less mayonnaise recipe to make remoulade for vegetarian crab cakes (shredded zucchini instead of crab), not because my wife and I are vegan (I used regular milk instead of soy) but because of food safety concerns with raw egg, and this was perfect! The mayonnaise, and thus the remoulade, far exceeded this omnivore’s expectations!

  150. This is a great recipe. I have tried many vegan mayo recipes without them ending up tasting right. This however mimics egg based mayo wonderfully. I added seeded mustard, garlic, a little mango chutney, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Spectacular, and so easy to do and such a wonderful flavour.

  151. Okay, so I’ve been vegan for years and flipped out when I found JustMayo. Vegenaise was always a gross kind-of mucus-y texture, so I loved the “whipped” thing the JustMayo re-introduced for vegans. However, people have been telling me to try making my own mayo. With a shitty blender, and after struggles with making mayo the “real” way, with my sister’s duck eggs, I ignored them.

    THIS IS AMAZING. Thank you so much. I read through some of these comments about it not emulsifying properly. I heated up my soymilk on the stove for about 5 seconds, so it was actually QUITE WARM when I blended everything together. And it took about 10 seconds in the blender before it was whipped, thick, goodness-gracious-this-is-all-I-want-to-eat-for-the-next-week deliciousness. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I will be sharing this page with others!! It’s people like you who are changing the way the world views veganism.

I’m not sure what I did wrong, I left the sunflower oil in the fridge so it would be the same temp as the milk and followed the instructions but it just came out a watery mess… I added more oil to make it thicker and all it’s done is made more of it. I’ve already added 2 1/2 extra cups of oil and it’s still nothing like the texture of mayonnaise… 🙁

  172. Hi,
    I adopted this recipe in December 2016, haven’t bought a jar of mayo since. I’ve made it so many times and with so many flavors that I stopped counting. Just made a new batch with a new flavor, just had to share this with you. I grow my own herbs, and I had a lot of basil. First I always cut the recipe in half, that’s lots for me. So, I let soak over night at least 1/3 cup of basil in the oil. This morning made the mayo as usual including the soaked basil as I went. I’m a genius. This will be lovely with fish, or a cold summer vegetable salad; so many other possibilities.

Wasted 2 cups of organic avocado oil so not about to try again….even though I LOVE mayo. (Not unhealthy at all, as our brain needs more fat.). Would the a/c in my house been an issue or the blender? Depressed!

I made mine with a cashew/almond/macademia nut milk from trader Joe’s since that’s all I and on hand so it came out on the more “saucier” side. I added a little bit of garlic powder in there and it sort of tastes almost like a ranch dressing. Anyways it’s amazing as a drizzle to roast potatoes and veggies in. Mixed with nooch on brocoli…oh my gosh Soo good! Thank you!

    Always interested in different recipes but article mentions cows’ milk in mayo. That is incorrect as it is just egg (whole or yolk only), vinegar, seasoning and oil.

    • Hi Lucy! Mayo is a typical food from some Mediterrean countries. I’m from Spain, so I know traditional mayo is made usually with eggs, but we also make it with milk. In fact, you can’t serve mayo made with eggs in restaurants (at least here in Spain) because of salmonella, it has to be made with milk. Have a nice day!

  184. Just made this. Very quick and easy.
    I used high quality organic soy milk, sunflower oil and apple cider vinegar.
    There is, however, a bitter aftertaste. I presume that it is from the cold pressed unrefined sunflower oil.
    A few drops of lemon juice seemed to cut the bitterness but it is still noticeable.
    Any tips or substitutions avoid this?
