How to Make Vegan Mayonnaise

  1. Add 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes), 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 2-4 tablespoons more water until you reach your desired consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed for a thinner mayo.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or garlic powder to your liking.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
