This recipe makes a pint of mayo. If you’re not likely to use that much within two or three weeks, consider making a half batch or freezing what you can’t use right away.

Susan Spurlin on 2023-05-08 (5 stars): OMG, Susan!!!! This is amazing. I’ve been vegan for 8.5 years and recently was told to eliminate or drastically reduce fat. I love vegenaise and didn’t know what I was going to do until I made your mayonnaise. Sooooooooo delicious and I don’t mis vegenaise one bit. Thanks so much!
Julie Edwards on 2022-06-13 (5 stars): What is this sorcery?!?! Mayo that is healthy and tastes great?! Amazing!
Gayi on 2021-02-02 (5 stars): YUM!! Did not have tofu on hand. Substituted with soaked and boiled soybeans which I already had. Enjoying on pita bread. Thank you Susan for sharing this recipe.
Sunny White on 2020-04-23 (3 stars): I love all your recipes including this one, but I was wondering if I made this with firm tofu if it would have more of the texture of mayo. It tasted great but was more like the thickness of a salad dressing than a condiment.
paul on 2020-01-17 (1 stars): This is actually a high fat recipe: 22 grams for the whole batch.
Granted, compared to the mayos you mention it is lower but that does not make it low.
Granted, a single serve is only 0.88 grams fat but the whole tablespoon would weigh only about 3 grams.
And, granted, on the standard American diet (which is poison) is it lower, but for a healthy diet it is HIGH FAT.

Kim on 2019-04-23 (5 stars): This is excellent!!! Herb it for crackers, , make an egg salad with it! Slather away! It's Plants! Heavenly, Susan. Really , really good! I use about 1/2 tsp salt and probably a bit too much mustard, but it is really good. yay!!!
Deedra on 2019-03-15 (5 stars): Hi Susan! I've been a lurker on your site for a while. I made this mayo to include in your chickpea salad wrap recipe. With the extra I didn't use, I made a dip for veggies and an also aioli for some steamed asparagus. It was all very yummy! Thanks for the great recipe and also for including WW points in your recipes (I'm on WW too!)
Sam B on 2019-02-19 (5 stars): Hi. Can I use Mori-Nu "Firm" Silken Tofu with this recipe? How long will it stay totally fresh in the fridge? Thank you!
