Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine water, soyagen powder, salt, apple juice concentrate, orange juice concentrate, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a blender or mixing bowl.

- Gradually add corn oil while continuously blending or whisking to incorporate fully.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can use an immersion blender instead of a standard blender. If you don't have soyagen powder, silken tofu can be a great substitute for a vegan mayonnaise. Adjust the spices to your taste; adding a bit of cayenne can give it a kick! This recipe is versatile and can be used in wraps or as a dip for your favorite snacks.
Serving Suggestions
This mayonnaise is excellent as a sandwich spread or a dip for fresh veggies and chips. Consider using it in wraps or with the Dirty Pickles for a delightful crunch. It pairs beautifully with various salads, such as the Yum Yum Fruit Salad, making it a versatile addition to your meals.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The mixture may thicken further as it sits; simply whisk in a little water or oil to return it to the desired consistency. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.
