SO HOW'D IT GO?
I have tried several recipes for mayo and I like this one the best. It's the closest to Veganaise. Next time I am going to try shellylovesmoo's suggestion and use Energ G just to see how it turns out. Thanks for a great recipe!
;)b awesome! i made my own mayo! yay! thanks for this recipe, what a money saver. it taste just like mayo, i tweaked it a bit though. I did 2T of apple cider vinegar instead of 3T of lemon juice and i added a splash of plain soy milk, onion and garlic powder and already prepared mustard instead of ground.
Wow. Why have I been buying veganse? This is so easy, and really tasty. I used only 3/4 cups of canola oil, the juice of one smallish lemon, and spices as written. I can't wait to play with the spice - add some garlici, dill, etc. My flax seeds showed up too - it's kinda brown, but who cares if it tastes good?! Very thick and yummy! Thanks.
Came out very good and thick. I used a hand blender and it was too thick, so I added some water. I am going to share this with my vegan cooking class in Dec. Thanks for a good recipe.
Wow! Tastes just like the real thing (from what I remember). My flax wasn't quite ground fine enough so there were flecks in it, but that's no big deal. I did cut back on the lemon juice though because after adding about a third of it, I tested it and it was just perfect at that point. I mixed it with my hand mixer using the whip attachment with no difficulty. Definitely my go-to recipe for "mayonnaise".
Soupy. Dang, I was so excited for some mayo. :'(
try adding cornstarch and i liked the mayo but could taste the flax seed so i replaced it with ener-g egg replacer
I made this, but i used sunflower seeds instead of flaxseeds and it tasted like the ogranic mayo i have bought I also added apple cider vingear because im used to that type of taste. It is easy and i had no problems with it.
The key is to add the oil as slowly as possible while blending! Taste and texture were great
mine got thick only after two days in refrigerator ..
