    • Sure. Mayonnaise is a creamy, thick, flavorful spread. Our recipe is one of many vegan versions of the traditional egg-based mayonnaise. The tofu is used as a thickener or binder. You may use cashews – even a boiled potato can be used! The resulting flavors and textures will vary and you know what they say about variety!

      • Funny just today I was making my tofu mayo and realized I was short on tofu so used a cooked potato to make up the bulk and it was even better! I also leave out the sweetener and a dash of turmeric for color and use black salt, which adds that eggy mayo flavor I love! Awesome!

        • Fantastic! That’s why we think it’s best to make your own, because you make it the way you like it. And it’s REAL.

  1. Hi Gary –

    I heard you on Caryn Hartglass’ show (from February 17) by mistake just because I went to the PRN website and the show was automatically playing. I was so impressed that I ended up at your website. I have a question regarding the Vegan Mayo recipe: Does it have to have the sugar? Is there something else that can be used instead. Thank you very much.

    • Hi Stuart, Thanks for your kind words. No, you do not need to add sugar to the mayo. You may season it anyway you like. We make it sometimes without sugar. Taste it without the sugar and see if you think it needs anything. If you want it sweeter, you can blend in little light colored unsweetened jam or fruit butter. – Gary
