Vegan Almond "Mayo"

Vegan "Mayo" 

So far Almond Mayo has become a staple for us. We use it as sour cream, cheese, cream cheese, and so much more.
I made a cheesecake with it (to die for.) It makes great won tons,.... the list is endless.


Ready to start blending ;)

  • 1 Cup Blanched Almonds (*for unblanched) 
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 to 1-1/2 cups Olive Oil
  • Dried Onions
  • Seasonings (I use a little garlic, Cayenne, and Emeril's)
  • Squeeze two Lemons for the juice (1/4 cup)



*For unblanched, Fill small pot with water and boil. Once water has boiled add almonds, and turn the heat off let them sit for 15-20 minutes. they'll just pop right out of their husk. Remember the longer they soak the smoother they blend out. 

Add almonds and everything but the oil to the blender and process till smooth. It will thicken up A LOT. After it has blended add the oil ( I always start with a cup) and sometimes add the half  cup extra. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
