Ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon acid (I used lemon juice, but vinegar works too)
1+ chipotle in adobo sauce (I used 4)
3/4c olive oil

Directions: Put all ingredients in a wide mouth jar or beaker if you have one, ensuring your opening is large enough for your stick/immersion blender

Fully submerge a stick blender and begin blending starting at the bottom, after a short time start slowly moving the blender upward until everything is blended and the oil has emulsified into mayo.

This likely could be made vegan by replacing the egg with another emulsifier, I think lecithin will work. I am not familiar with using it, so use at your own risk.

    If you haven’t tried already, I’ve fooled people a few times by making vegan mayo with silken tofu.

    Rough guide off the top of my head:

    • 1 block/ 300g silken tofu (silken is important to not get other tofu types)
    • 100 ml olive oil
    • salt to taste
    • dash of paprika
    • dash of mustard powder
    • 10ml/1 quarter of a lemon of lemon juice
    1. Blend everything with a stick blender or other blender type
    2. Add additional seasoning if required
    3. Add more oil if too watery
    4. Add a dash of water if too thick

    IMO this actually comes out pretty nice and people have only noticed its vegan/tofu after I’ve told them. I’ve also used it to make garlic sauce for kebabs etc, you can just use this as a base.

    Maybe it helps!

      Dang, I’m going to try that this weekend :)

      Have to drive to the city to get silken tofu, but that seems like it will be yummy, even if it doesn’t directly match mayo. I love me some tofu!

        Now that I think of it maybe get 500g of tofu or add less olive oil at first but I hope you enjoy it, and would love to see the results!
