This vegan tofu mayonnaise recipe is a must-have condiment. Super yummy and super healthy, it’s ready in 5 minutes. It doesn’t contain any eggs or sugar, so it’s a lot healthier than regular mayonnaise. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, and salads!
Why try Tofu Mayonnaise
I have been making it for years, since it’s delicious and only takes a few minutes to make. It even lasts up to a week in the refrigerator, so you have plenty of time to eat it. Besides sandwiches and salads, I love making tuna salad with it or smearing it on salmon. So if you’re looking for a healthy alternative to mayonnaise, just give this egg-free condiment a whirl!
The ingredients for Tofu Mayonnaise
- Tofu – One 16 oz. container of soft, medium or firm tofu. There’s a slight difference in texture, but they all work in this recipe. Also, be sure to drain the tofu so your mayo isn’t watery.
- Apple cider vinegar – 3 Tbsp
- Olive oil – 4 Tbsp
- Granulated sweetener of choice – I use 1 Tbsp of monk fruit which is a natural zero-calorie sweetener.
- Dijon mustard – 2-3 tsp. I suggest initially adding 2 tsp and then adding an additional tsp after mixing the ingredients, if necessary.
- Salt – 1/2 tsp
How to make Tofu Mayonnaise
Firstly: Put the ingredients in a bowl and purée with an immersion blender or simply purée the ingredients in a blender.
Secondly: Taste and adjust the ingredients if necessary. This is where I might add another teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Use immediately or transfer to a jar and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
