I have always loved mayonnaise. So, therefore, I wanted to come up with a plant-based version that’s a bit healthier and lower in calories. It’s great to have dips and spreads in the refrigerator to snack on at the odd hours.

Frequently asked questions:

How do I store it?
You may store it in an air tight glass container in the refrigerator about 2 weeks.

Can I use it as a salad dressing?
Yes, absolutely. With just a minor tweak in the recipe it becomes a delicious and quick salad dressing. I have mentioned the details of it in the recipe card under the notes.

How does it taste like?
Vegan mayonnaise is lighter in taste and flavor. In fact,I made it oil free here so that you won’t taste the greasiness in it. Moreover, it does have a nutty taste which I balanced by including of mustard powder in this dip.

How is it different from the traditional mayo?
Vegan mayonnaise is on the other hand different very from the traditional one. As a result, this vegan version does not have that eggy taste and is light in texture and low in calories.

My other popular dip recipes are:
Fire Roasted Jalapeno Dip
Sriracha Mango Dip
Simple Sweet Potato Dip
