Vegan Tofu Mayonnaise Recipe (Oil-Free)

Easy Vegan Tofu Mayonnaise is easy to make, oil-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and much healthier than regular mayo. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps! Just 2 minutes and 5 ingredients are required.

I have always loved mayonnaise and still do. But, trying to find a healthy one is a bit of task. So, I made my own out of cashews several years ago and quickly became one of the most popular recipes on my blog.

However, some people can’t do nuts and asked me to come up with another alternative. And, I’m happy to introduce you to my easy vegan tofu mayonnaise!

I have to say this is without a doubt my favorite vegan mayo. Silken tofu provides the base with just 4 other ingredients rounding out the recipe: lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Salt should be added per your taste.

You can use this mayo anywhere you would use regular mayo. And, you won’t feel like a big grease ball after indulging a bit. It’s fresh, clean, and ready in less than 5 minutes.

It’s time to make your own vegan mayonnaise at home and forget the store-bought brands! Yes, it is possible. Bonus? This vegan mayo recipe does not use oil, vegan egg replacements, or even cashews. You simply will not believe it.

Ingredients You Will Need

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this vegan tofu mayonnaise.

• Tofu: Mori-Nu silken tofu is my favorite and works best for the is recipe. It blends up super easy to create a smooth and creamy consistency. Silken tofu is also high in protein and low in fat.
• Acid: lemon juice and apple cider vinegar add that signature “tang” found in mayo.
• Spice: garlic powder and dijon mustard round out the rest of the ingredients. And, make the flavor of mayo come alive. If you want a little extra flavor you could also add a small amount of onion powder.
• Salt: I prefer to wait until everything is blended, taste, and then season with sea salt.
