This 5-minute plant-based mayonnaise is a homemade, vegan and oil-free version of store-bought mayo. Tastes just like real mayo!

Why I love this Oil-Free Vegan Mayonnaise
- Dietary needs - this vegan mayo is dairy-free, plant-based, oil-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free
- Quick and easy - it literally takes 5 minutes to make this mayo. Just throw everything into a food processor and blend!
- Oil-free sub for store-bought mayo - store-bought vegan mayos don't have eggs, but they often replace the eggs with oils that aren't so good for you. This plant-based mayo recipe is thick and creamy without any oil.

Ingredient Notes
- Silken Tofu: tofu is the base of the mayo - it's what makes it creamy. Silken tofu is ideal because it is already semi-creamy
- Tahini: tahini adds a bit of nuttiness. You could sub another nut or seed butter or omit the tahini altogether if you don't have any
- White Wine Vinegar: vinegar is important to create that classic mayo tang. If you don't have white wine vinegar, use apple cider vinegar or even lemon juice
- Maple Syrup: for a fruit-sweetened version you can use date syrup, but this will make the mayo a pinkish color
- Mustard: Dijon is ideal, but yellow mustard would work too
- Liquid Aminos or Tamari: this is for the salty flavor. Liquid aminos are my go-to sauce, but tamari is another great gluten-free option. Or, if you don't need a gluten-free option, you can use soy sauce
- Spices: onion powder & garlic powder

I use Rice Wine vinegar (unseasoned) to get a hint of sweetness: vinegar and sweetness with one ingredient.

Hello, Elizabeth,I have a question for you! I just tried your recipe, and it is very good! My next question is, how long will this homemade mayo last in the frig? I think This is an important detail that should be posted on all home-made recipes.I would appreciate your help with this! I am also going to try the unseasoned Rice Wine Vinegar the next time I make this recipe as I am trying to cut down on the sugars!
Blessings to you,
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl - thank you so much for catching that I didn't include that detail. I've updated the post to include it - store in an air tight container for up to two weeks. It might last longer than that, but for best taste and freshness, two weeks is ideal.
