Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the water, soy base, onion, and oil together.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and mix well.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use a high-speed blender. If soy base is unavailable, consider using silken tofu as a substitute. For added flavor, you can include garlic powder or nutritional yeast. Adjust the oil amount based on your desired thickness. A touch of mustard can enhance the taste, making it more reminiscent of traditional mayonnaise. This recipe is excellent for various vegan recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Unmayo is a versatile condiment that pairs beautifully with Pan-Fried Vegetables, making it an excellent dipping sauce. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Consider serving it alongside a Winter Garden Salad for a refreshing meal or using it as a dressing for grain bowls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover unmayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, allow it to come to room temperature and stir well before using. If it thickens, you can add a bit of water and blend again to restore the original consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make unmayo ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare unmayo a few days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The flavors will meld and intensify, making it even tastier when served later.
Is there a nut-free substitute for the oil?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a nut-free option, use sunflower oil or canola oil instead. Both will work well to achieve the desired texture without altering the flavor significantly.
Can unmayo be used in cooking?
While unmayo is primarily a condiment, it can be used in cooking for dishes like creamy pasta or as a base for sauces. Just remember that it’s best added towards the end of cooking to maintain its flavor and creaminess.
