This creamy, rich cashew mayo is a delicious and dairy-free alternative to traditional mayonnaise. Made from raw cashews blended with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and a blend of spices, it offers a smooth, tangy, and slightly garlicky flavor perfect for sandwiches, salads, and dips. Soaking the cashews enhances creaminess, but with a powerful blender, you can skip this step. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s a healthy, plant-based condiment that keeps well in the fridge for several days.

Ingredients

Cashew Mayo Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. mustard (yellow or dijon)
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 heaping tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Soak Cashews: Place the raw cashews in hot water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This step helps to soften the cashews and contributes to a creamier texture. If you have a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix, you can skip this soaking step.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Stop blending and taste the mayo. Adjust the flavor by adding more apple cider vinegar for tanginess, lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or more water if you want a thinner consistency.
  4. Final Blend and Store: Blend again after making your final adjustments to incorporate any additional ingredients fully. Pour the creamy cashew mayo into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for several days.

Notes

  • Soaking cashews is optional if you have a high-speed blender but recommended for creamier results.
  • Adjust the thickness of the mayo by varying the amount of water added.
  • Store the mayo in the refrigerator and consume within a week for optimal freshness.
  • This recipe is vegan and dairy-free.
  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
