The very best vegan mayonnaise
There are many ways to make a vegan mayonnaise, and I use different methods at different times. But this recipe is no doubt the best one of all. It takes a bit of time, because of the cooling time in the fridge. But it is worthed! This mayonnaise you can easily keep in the fridge for 4 weeks, as long as you keep the base mayonnaise without added herbs, or garlic.
This mayonnaise is creamy, rich, tangy and smooth as velvet. You can easily transform this base mayonnaise into a garlicky aioli, a herby spread or the most perfect tartare sauce. It is really the perfect thing to always have ready in your fridge.
I normally make 1 big jar of the base mayonnaise, which I keep in my fridge for weeks, and transform to any other nice dip when needed. As long as you don’t add any garlic, herbs or spices you can keep it in the fridge for at least 4 weeks.
Transform your vegan mayonnaise into the perfect Tartare sauce
