Ingredients

For the Vegan Mayo

• 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
• 1 cup neutral oil, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil
• 1 teaspoon Caribbean Health Foods Soy Lecithin
• 1 tablespoon lime juice or white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 small garlic clove, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Caribbean Add-ins

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chadon beni
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
• A few drops of pepper sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• A pinch of paprika
• A tiny pinch of grated ginger

Method

1. Add the Base Ingredients: Place the soy milk, lime juice or vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar, garlic, black pepper, and Caribbean Health Foods Soy Lecithin into a blender cup or regular blender.
2. Blend First: Blend for about 10 to 15 seconds so the Soy Lecithin begins mixing properly into the liquid.
3. Add the Oil Slowly: While blending, slowly drizzle in the oil. Do not pour it all in at once. The mixture should begin to thicken as the oil blends into the soy milk.
4. Blend Until Creamy: Continue blending until the mayo becomes thick, smooth, and creamy.
5. Taste and Adjust: Add more lime juice for tang, more salt if needed, or a little more mustard for sharpness.
6. Add Caribbean Flavour: Stir in chadon beni, parsley, pepper sauce, lime zest, roasted garlic, paprika, or grated ginger if desired.
7. Chill Before Serving: Place the mayo in a clean jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. It will thicken a little more as it chills.
