Mayonnaise is one of those condiments that you love to hate. You may be able to live without it on sandwiches, but what will you do about potato salad? Fret no longer because with this recipe you can enjoy the rich, guilty pleasure of mayonnaise with only a fraction of the fat.
Ingredients
1 12 oz pkg Mori-Nu silken tofu
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tbsps lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsps apple cider vinegar
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 rounded tsp salt
Directions
- Combine ingredients in a food processor or blender and whip until smooth. The longer you allow the mixture to process, the smoother it will be.
- Use immediately, or place in a container and refrigerate. The mayonnaise should be used within 7-10 days.
Note: I mention Mori Nu brand tofu specifically because I have found it to be the creamiest brand of silken tofu out there. You may try other brands (always be sure the package says silken), but I have found that others tend to be a bit grainy, even after long processing times. Mori Nu can be found in the health food section of most major grocery chains. It comes in small unrefrigerated packages that look like juice boxes.
Variations:
- Mix with dry onion soup mix for instant French Onion Dip.
- Or add fresh minced garlic and fresh chopped basil for a tasty sandwich spread.
- Or add 1/4 cup each of dried parsley, dried dill and minced onions for a great vegetable dip.
