    The Best Cashew Mayo Recipe

    This Cashew mayo is a great vegan mayo alternative. Why? Because cashews are very neutral in flavor and have an awesome texture after you soak and blend them. Thick, rich, and creamy!

    How Do You Make Cashew Mayonnaise

    This recipe is amazingly SIMPLE! Soak some cashews, toss them in a blender with the spices, and blend until smooth. That’s it.

    creamy rich cashew mayo

    Plant-based or meat-eater, sauces are what make sandwiches. And, a sandwich is not a sandwich without some type of mayo on it. So, why not make a vegan mayo that’s healthy and can be slathered on with reckless abandon?

    One way to try the amazing plant-based mayo is on my Potato Chip Tomato Sandwich. Pretty amazing!

    Description

    A much healthier alternative to regular mayo. This cashew mayo is creamy, rich, tangy, delicious and easy to make.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup raw cashews
    • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tsp. mustard (yellow or dijon)
    • 1 tsp. garlic powder
    • ½ tsp. onion powder
    • ¼ heaping tsp. sea salt
    • ¼ to ½ cup water

    Instructions

    1. Soak cashews in hot water for 30 minutes. If you have a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix, soaking is optional. But, it will make the mayo that much creamier.
    2. Add cashews along with all other ingredients to blender and process until smooth and creamy.
    3. Stop and taste test: adding more apple cider vinegar for tanginess; lemon juice for acidity; salt for saltiness; and more water if you want it not so thick.
    4. Blend once more after making final adjustments. Pour into a jar or container and store in fridge until ready to use. It will keep for several days.

    Notes

    Add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce during the blending and it makes a great aioli.

    If you have a nut allergy, use a 12 ounce box of firm or extra firm silken tofu.

      I used this mayonnaise to use with cooked artichoke. I was raised that you eat artichoke with dipping it into mayonnaise. I love how smooth of a texture it is without the oily feeling of regular mayonnaise. It doesn’t taste exactly like regular mayonnaise but it hits the right spot!!!

      I made this for vegan burger night. I gave it four stars only because I prefer Shane’s tofu mayo. Even though I have a high power blender, I soaked the cashews anyway. I blended for quite some time, but the texture was still more like ground mustard than mayo. It did the job on the burgers, adding a nice flavor and I will use it over the next week on sandwiches and wraps but will be going back to Shane’s tofu mayo after that! Thanks for great content, Shane; I know I can count on your recipes to be just what I want!

      I finally made this today and it is delicious, looking forward to a tomato, onion and cucumber sandwich with mayo for dinner. I added a pinch of Himalayan Black Salt to add a touch of ‘eggy’ taste and happy with the results. I used 3/4 cup of water and may use a tad more on the next batch so it’s a bit thinner, but if the hubby likes it ‘as is’, then I won’t change anything since he’s the mayo lover.

      The cashew mayo was awesome. We used it on TLT’s (tempeh, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches) and loved it. I also had difficulty getting the mayo smooth like pictured. I soaked the cashews in hot water for 30 minutes, then drained and used them. I used my Vitamix and needed to add more than a 1/2 cup of water to the recipe before I could get the ingredients to touch the blades of my Vitamix and blend. It ended up a bit crunchy but tastes great. Even then, most of the ingredients were below the blades and not mixing well. Any thoughts. This is not the first time I have experienced this problem when making a sauce -type item in a small quantity. Any thoughts?

      The taste is great but I have a hard time blending small quantities like this in the vitamix and even after soaking the cashews I could not get the creamy texture; there are very small bits of cashews remaining. I don’t want to make more than one cup at a time, how do you recommend using the vitamix so it blends properly?

        Hey, Val! I feel your pain and have been there. I would suggest getting the smoothie attachment for your Vitamix if it has a wide pitcher. Mine has a long narrow pitcher so it’s a bit more conducive when using small quantities.

      Hi Shane, this recipe is absolutely delicious. I just made it for a leek, apple and carrot coleslaw recipe I found. The mayo is in the fridge now getting cold, I can’t wait to eat it with the salad later. On its own though it’s delicious, had to have a few tbsp straight from the blender! It’s my first time making a raw vegan mayo and I don’t think I’ll need to look for any other recipes going forward! Nat

      While I haven’t tried your recipe, I have several times made one that is VERY similar. I found that using Kala Namak (also called black salt) for all or part of the salt puts it over the top by giving just a touch of eggy flavor like regular mayo has. Also, I have found that it freezes quite well…it looks kind of weird when you first defrost it, a bit chunky and grainy…but with just a little stir it smooths right out.

      Finally! Omgosh this is exactly what I’ve been searching for! I tried others and threw them away knowing I had to try yours next because your recipes seem to always be great. But I just couldn’t bear to throw anymore cashews away so I just quit buying them. Finally I decided to try again. My plan was potato salad.

      I learned to make small batches first because I have tried and tried to find a creamy Mayo or ranch substitute and nothing was working. Years ago My favorite sandwich used to be tomato, pepper and cucumbers with Mayo. I started.having it dry a long time ago because I couldn’t find a decent substitute. Then I just quit making them. Well not anymore! As soon as I tasted it I was like…Omgosh this will work great! And it did! It’s the first thing I made with your Mayo and it was great! I will definitely keep making this. Thank you for sharing it, it brought my fast, easy, delicious sandwich back! Whew!

      I was looking for a Raw enzyme friendly mayo recipe and made this as per the original recipe to try it before trying to make it as near 100% raw as possible. I found the texture to be beautiful, very creamy and also rich tasting, reminded me a bit like a high quality horseradish consistency. I think that the teaspoon of garlic powder was too much. Maybe the Garlic powder I used from the Chinese supermarket was just very potent but I felt that it was too dominant. If you like Garlic sauce/Mayo you would be in heaven with this but I’m not a massive fan of strong Garlic tastes in food although I do enjoy subtle garlic taste so I am not quite a vampire! I think next time I will add very little garlic to it. Overall a great recipe and could not agree more about how store bought sauces are quite often just poisonous and something like this is just such a fantastic replacement. Thanks for sharing

      Hi Shane, I made this mayo today and it turned out to be pretty good. I don’t own a Vitamix but I did use my high-powered food processor. The texture is not as creamy or smooth as it would be when using a Vitamix blender but that’s okay because once it’s mixed into other foods, it doesn’t really matter. It’s all about taste.
      I love that your recipe does not require any oil or eggs. I cannot digest eggs and always can do without the added fat that comes from oil.
      The best part is making only the quantity I need for the time I need it. I no longer have to worry about getting through a whole jar anymore.

      I’ve been trying different mayo recipes for a few years and some were okay…but nothing was good enough to get my vegan 14 year old daughter off the veganaise. Tonight I made this recipe and asked her to taste it…she was hesitant because some of the recipes we’ve tried have not been very good. She tasted it and her face brightened and she said that it was the best one I had made and she would eat that! Very happy about that. I made it as written and it was so fast and easy. Turned out silky smooth in my Vitamix. I’m also really excited it’s only 1 point on WW. 🙂 Thanks for this great recipe!

      Never been a fan of mayonnaise but this recipe is really good. I could see myself eating a small spoonful lol. I’ve made potato salad, pasta salad and tonight a coleslaw salad. First batch I tripled but forgot to triple water. Way too thick until I added more water. Second batch stayed with single ingredients and used 1/2 cup water. Wasn’t as smooth as first triple batch and thinner than I wanted. So next time will only add water a bit at a time after 1/4 cup.

      Taste reminds me more of a sandwich spread than mayo so I’m happy about that. Thanks for the great vegan recipes. It’s making this lifestyle change easier.

      I am a mayo lover and giving up oil has been the hardest part of a WFBD. I thought I would just have to live without mayo – and macaroni salad, potato salad, and coleslaw.
      This cashew mayo is awesome! Thanks so much! I’m saved from a mayo free life!

      I love, love, love this recipe!! It is SOOO good!!

      Shane, you say it will last several days in the fridge, but I have found it lasts much longer. Mine has lasted at least two months in the fridge and probably would have lasted longer if I had not eaten it all. The consistency and taste at the end of two months was exactly the same as the day I made it I stored it in a sterile mason jar.

      Do love your recipes! You are a whole food plant based recipe genius! Please keep them coming!!!

      I am one of those people who can eat mayonnaise with a spoon. I have been eating vegan mayo because I have not been able to find anything close. I think I can give up the mayo… this stuff is delicious. I was so skeptical but you blew me away. Thank you so much for this recipe and all your amazing recipes.

      I saw questions asking if walnuts or sunflower seeds would work but didn’t see a reply.

      I cannot East cashews or soy……

      Thanks

        Hi, Jane! I have never tried it with either of those things, but it should work. I would try the sunflower seeds first. Hemp seeds would be a possibility as well as they make a great salad dressing.

        I made this in a food processor and it came out good. Not quite as smooth as I had hoped, but that might be because of my food processor? I let the cashews soak for over 1/2 hour, so that isn’t the problem. I even added a little extra water hoping that would help. Good flavor!

        It should be creamy and smooth. Try soaking the cashews in hot water for about 5 mins. and let them blend a little longer. Add a little water at a time to the blender if you need to.

          Shane, really love your recipes! Thank you! I have made this twice in my vitamix. Both times I have had to transfer from that to a food processor or blender (first time) because there wasn’t enough mixture to blend in the blades. My Vitamix is an under the counter model and works extremely well when the amount is more. Saw the comment about adding more liquid which I didn’t try but maybe should have. I’m sure I lost some good stuff in the transfer. Flavor very good but not as smooth as I’d like. Do you use vitamix or blender and do you mind sharing which one. Is yours smooth or still grainy? Thank you!

      I am a huge mayo fan, I especially like Veganaise original mayo. Could eat it by the spoonfuls. Not any more. This mayo made with cashews is every bit as good as the Veganaise (which is up to about $9.00 per quart.) From this day forward I’ll be using this recipe instead. So good and so much lower in total calories. Thank you so much for the post.

        Another winner, I’m sure! I’ve been using a similar recipe, courtesy of http://plantbasedu.com/oil-free-vegan-white-bean-and-cashew-mayo-recipe-plant-based/ (Veronica Grace blog). Instead of 1 cup cashews, it’s 1/2 cup cashews and 1 1/2 cup white beans. My non-vegan mayo loving husband loves it in his WFPB potato salad. I’m sure this is delicious too..
