Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This isn’t one of those “almost like mayo” recipes - this one actually delivers.

It’s:

  • Smooth and creamy
  • Neutral in flavor (perfect as a base)
  • Ready in under a minute
  • Made with simple pantry ingredients
  • Completely egg-free and vegan

It’s also incredibly versatile. You can keep it classic or easily customize it with garlic, lemon, herbs, or spices.

Tips for Perfect Mayo Every Time

A few small details make all the difference:

  • Use a tall, narrow jar - This helps the emulsion form quickly
  • Don’t move the blender at first - Let it start emulsifying from the bottom
  • Lift slowly - This creates that thick, creamy texture
  • Adjust consistency - Add a bit more aquafaba if needed

Common questions

My mayo won't thicken - what am I doing wrong?

Make sure you're using a tall, narrow jar so the blender head fits snugly, and don't move the blender until the emulsion starts forming at the bottom.

What oil works best?

A neutral oil like sunflower or a light avocado oil works best; strong-flavored oils like extra virgin olive oil can taste bitter when emulsified this way.

Can I flavor it?

Yes - garlic, lemon zest, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs can be blended in at the end.

    In a tall, narrow mixing jar, add aquafaba, neutral cooking oil, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, and salt. Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar.

    Blend without moving for a few seconds, then slowly lift the blender as the mixture starts to thicken. Continue blending until the mayo becomes smooth, thick, and creamy.

    If it’s still too runny, add a little more aquafaba and blend again until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
