Cashew Mayo

Cashew mayo is a tasty choice as salad dressing and for all other dishes that you usually eat with regular mayonnaise. It’s creamy, rich and made using only plant-based ingredients. For those who eat vegan or simply looking for a healthier mayonnaise option, this is the wise choice. As far as vegan mayonnaise recipes I’ve tried, cashew mayo always comes out on top both in terms of taste and texture. Cashew mayo is thick, rich and easy to make. Each time you add new ingredients, you get a totally different flavor. Ladies and gentlemen, today I have two recipes for you. Let me present you – the cashew mayonnaise recipe.

Ingredients needed for cashew mayo (garlic version)

1 cup cashews (180 g)

a pinch of mustard seeds crushed in an electric coffee & spice grinder

2 tablespoons flaxseed oil

a pinch of salt

1/5 teaspoon turmeric

1 clove of garlic

4 tablespoons (90g) water

2 tablespoons lime juice

How to make cashew mayo

Cashews need to be soaked before use. Pour boiling water over the cashews and let them soak for about three to four hours. It will make the mayo that much creamier. When the cashews soften, wash and toss them in a blender. Add a clove of garlic, turmeric, salt, mustard seeds, linseed oil and water. Blend for about 3 minutes in a food chopper.

Ingredients needed for cashew mayo (dried onion version)

2 cups cashews

3 tablespoons dried onions (onion powder)
