Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I feel like my sandwiches, pitas and wraps need some moisture and mustard alone is not enough - I need mayo. It's pretty pricey at the store so I did what I do best: Google. I found a few different recipes that all had more or less the same ingredients so I thought I'd give it a try. It calls for soy milk but I only had almond milk. I didn't think it would make any difference since the oil is what's supposed to thicken the mixture, or so it would seem based on the instructions. However, no matter how long I blended, low or high, it would not thicken. Could it be the milk or is there a trick to it? This is the recipe: Ingredients: 3 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 cup soy milk 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp mustard 6 tbsp vegetable oil Preparation: Put all the ingredients except the oil in a blender. Blend on the lowest speed. Gradually - one drop at a time - add the oil until the mixture starts to thicken. Continue blending until thickened and smooth. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator. Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to use hummus, or make a bean dip with whatever beans you have on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I think it was the almond milk. The lemon juice would have made it thicken if you had used soymilk.Patricia--- On Thu, 1/21/10, Katie <greenrootsmama wrote:Katie <greenrootsmama Please help with vegan mayo Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010, 5:44 PM I feel like my sandwiches, pitas and wraps need some moisture and mustard alone is not enough - I need mayo.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ok, that makes sense. I found another recipe that uses almond milk and if I remember right it's mixed with corn starch to thicken it. Thank you!
