How to Make Basic Raw Vegan Mayonnaise

  1. Combine 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes) and 1/2 cup cauliflower florets in a high-speed food processor.
  2. Add 1/2 cup water and blend until completely smooth.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly pour in 1 cup neutral-flavored oil (like avocado or sunflower) in a steady stream until the mixture thickens significantly.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed: add more lemon juice for tang, vinegar for sharpness, salt for savoriness, or mustard for a bolder flavor.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings until you achieve your desired flavor profile. Enjoy your homemade vegan mayo!
