Eggless Mayonnaise
A creamy, eggless mayonnaise with a tangy flavor from vinegar or lemon juice, perfect for sandwiches, salads, or as a dip for those seeking a vegan or egg-free alternative.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Measure sugar, salt, dry mustard, paprika, and evaporated milk into a bowl. Beat with rotary egg beater to mix well.
- Add the oil a teaspoon at a time, and beat after each addition until 1/4 of the oil has been incorporated.
- Add the vinegar or lemon juice a little at a time and continue beating until well combined.
- Pour the remaining oil slowly, beating continuously until the mayonnaise is smooth and creamy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker mayonnaise, use less oil initially or incorporate it more slowly. If you want to add flavor variations, consider incorporating garlic powder or herbs like dill or basil. You can also substitute the evaporated milk with silken tofu for a vegan version. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better emulsification.
Serving Suggestions
This eggless mayonnaise is perfect as a spread on sandwiches or as a base for creamy salads. It pairs beautifully with Fudge Buttermilk Cake for a delightful dessert after a meal. You can also use it in dips or as a dressing for coleslaw, enhancing your favorite vegetarian recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store the eggless mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If it separates, simply whisk it again before use. This mayonnaise does not freeze well, so it's best to prepare just the amount you need.
