Plant Based Cashew Mayo

Yield: 1 ½ - 2 cups mayo

What You Need:

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

  • 3 tablespoons warm water

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

What You Do:

  1. Drain and rinse cashews.

  2. In a blender, purée drained cashews with the olive oil, lemon juice, cider vinegar, mustard powder and 1 tablespoon of the water. Stop and scrape down sides.
