Vegan Spicy Mayo

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 5 Tbsp water, plus more as needed to adjust consistency
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice or rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp sriracha sauce

directions

  1. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 8 hours up to overnight. When ready to make the mayo, drain and rinse well.
  2. Add the drained, soaked cashews to a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Start blending on low then slowly increase the speed and blend on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides.
  3. Transfer the mayo to a container and serve right away or store for up to 1 week in fridge.

Notes

  • Contain no oil or mayo – made with cashews!
  • Vegan and can be gluten free
  • Versatile – use as a dip, spread or sauce
 
Soaking: If you’re in a pinch and have a high-speed blender, you can skip the soaking for the smoothest result, I still reccommend soaking at least 4 hours for a high-speed blender and 8 hours for a regular blender.
 
Quick Soak: If you’re short on time you can boil the cashews for 10 minutes rather than soaking.
