Oil Free Aquafaba Mayo (Vegan, Gluten Free, 5 Minutes to Make)

[@benbrown8258]

I can't believe it!!! This is the best vegan mayo I've had ever!! Right now I'm enjoying it on cole slaw. Unbelievable. This really rocks as I have been missing good home made whole plant food mayo, but with this I don't feel I'm lacking anything!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Ben!! That's amazing, thank you so much for your feedback and your wicked review!! I'm so happy you found a recipe that works for you and you don't feel like you're missing out on anything. Happy mayo-making :)

[@denniewebbie]

cant wait to try. no egg and no oil. sounds good. eggs upset my stomach. thanks for this recipe. I can have macaroni salad again. lol

[@LivingFreeAshley]

You are very welcome! Please let me know how it turns out :)

[@name.terrie]

This is still the best!!! Every time I make this I send gratitude to you for sharing it.

[@LivingFreeAshley]

You are the best, thank you so so much!! 💕

[@name.terrie]

Ashley Alexander, this has been one of those game changer recipes for me!!! Thanks so much for sharing it. In addition to using it instead of mayo, I use it as a base ingredient for creamy dressings, like ranch and spicy ranch, in potato and chickpea salads, and even as a dip for crudites and crackers. It's easy to customize . Tip/discovery: I have a Vitamix and find it's not necessary to soak cashews or whip the aquafaba before adding the other ingredients. I simply put all the ingredients into my Vitamix and blend it on high till its smooth and creamy. And to quote you..."easier is always better". 😉 If I want a bit more "eggy" taste, for me adding just a little nutritional yeast does it. Thanks again and best wishes to you!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Yayyy, this is so amazing, thank you for sharing! And so good to know about an even easier way to make this, whoop whoop! This comment made my day, thank you again :) :)

[@rheagonsalves]

Can also try pure Himalayan Pink salt instead of regular salt, to get an eggy taste.

[@raa.1293]

What's the proportion of the nutritional yeast, please? A teaspoon or a pinch perhaps? 🙂🙂

[@name.terrie]

@@raa.1293 I didn't/don't measure. Sorry. We just add it to our taste preference. We probably use a teaspoon. Start with less, taste, then adjust seasonings to your taste preferences

[@name.terrie]

@@LivingFreeAshley Ashley, I found that I didn't need to blend the aquafaba first. Just put all the ingredients in the Vitamix and blended. It worked just as well.

[@LivingFreeAshley]

@@name.terrie Ohhh amazing, thanks for letting me know! Easier is always better!

[@PlantBasedDads]

So glad to see you using the Aquafaba. Every time I open a can of Chickpeas I feel like I need to use the liquid but I never plan ahead enough to make something with the aquafaba. Great job.

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Start freezing your aquafaba and you'll always have some on hand :)

I admire your approach and practice much the same way, avoiding social media and always looking to other arts and crafts for my inspiration. My local library HPL is one of my favourite resources (free!) where I can search the entire catalogue and request pickup at my local branch. I look to hearing more from you!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Thank you for your kind words Pat and all the best with your arts and crafts!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Wonderful to hear Ruth! How did it turn out for you?

[@rheagonsalves]

Brilliant!! Can the ready mayo be stored at room temperature? Doesn't using vinegar act as a preservative?

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Hi there! I am unsure of the answer to this, but my inclination would be to keep it in the fridge. Aquafaba itself needs to be in the fridge or frozen and I'm not sure how long the vinegar would stabilize at room temp. Just to be safe, I'd say keep it in the fridge :)

[@rheagonsalves]

Do you have a recipe for oil free nut free mayo?

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Hi there, I unfortunately don't have an oil free nut free mayo, but I believe there are tofu based recipes out there. I don't handle tofu/soy well myself, so I haven't experimented with it, but here's a recipe that looks like it may work: watchlearneat.com/oil-free-vegan-mayo/

[@jelan64]

@7ruach9 I just use this same recipe replacing the cashews with soaked sunflower seeds. Be sure to blend until smooth. I also like to add a couple garlic cloves to my mayo. Hope that helps :)

Can i use any other nuts or seeds instead of cashew? I can consume only pumpkin seeds and walnuts. Thanks

[@LivingFreeAshley]

I haven’t tried either, but I imagine walnuts would be a good alternative, although it will alter the taste a bit. I’m not sure you’ll be able to get pumpkin seeds to be smooth enough for this. Let me know if you give it a go please!

Do you know how long aquafaba lasts bottled up? So cool!! I really need to try this out!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

I believe fresh aquafaba lasts for about a week in the fridge. I always freeze mine and then thaw it when I'm ready for it :)

[@christineerickson1181]

Can I substitute extra vinegar for the lemon juice? (Citrus allergy)

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Yes, definitely! But before you go and add 3 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, make it as is, without the lemon juice and see how it tastes. If you need some more zip, then just add in a little vinegar a bit at a time and possibly a bit more mustard and keep tasting it until it's the flavour you like :)

[@LivingFreeAshley]

@@raa.1293 Unsalted is best, but if you have roasted salted cashews, that's fine too. You'll be soaking them anyway, which will do away with the salt. I'm pretty sure I've made this with roasted salted cashews before in a pinch!

@@LivingFreeAshley And, can I use ordinary salt instead of sea salt? Or, would it taste different from your original recipe?

[@douluvsit]

this is great! instead of the cashews, could i just use chickpeas as a sub? thank you!

[@LivingFreeAshley]

Hi there! Using chickpeas might work but it'll change the consistency and flavour of the mayo. I think it would be a bit thicker, less frothy and have more of a hummus flavour to it. The cashews give it a nice creamy texture. If you try it with the chickpeas, please let me know how to turns out. Thanks for watching!

Odd that you add pepper. Should be white pepper. Too bad it's not thicker. You should have been an actress. You have the beauty, cheek bones, smile, body (?), personality, and camera presence.

Hi Paul, thanks for watching! Feel free to swap out white pepper for black. I've never really experimented with white pepper. The thickness was quite perfect for me. If you'd like it even thicker, you can reduce the amount of water. And I actually am an actor! Look me up on IMDB :)
