Eggless Mayonnaise Recipe
I don’t know about y’all, but for me, nothing says summer more than a potato salad, chicken salad, pasta salad or tuna salad. Even though, we ♥ these summery salads, we have been avoiding them because they are all made with mayonnaise.
I mean, you can make them with yogurt or sour cream … but in my opinion, the taste it’s not the same. I also tried several vegan mayonnaise, store-bought and homemade, but again, the taste and texture were just off.
Not a problem anymore!
Some weeks ago I learned about a GREAT egg replacer. People call this magic liquid by different names: aquafaba, chickpea liquid, chickpea brine, bean cooking liquid, bean juice, etc. Aquafaba is just the liquid that we usually discard from a can of beans. This liquid emulates the unmistakably fluffy texture of whipped egg whites. So please… STOP pouring it down the drain!!!
Aguafaba is a magical ingredient for people with egg allergy, like my little daughter, or for those who follow a vegan diet.
What do you need to make mayonnaise without eggs?
All you’re going to need for this simple recipe are a few ingredients!
- Vegetable oil

To make my eggless mayo I used vegetable oil.
Soybean oil, such as vegetable oil, offers many benefits; it also has a neutral flavor that helped me to create a fabulous mayo without compromising taste.
How to make eggless mayonnaise
Making mayonnaise doesn’t have to turn into an endurance test. You can use a handheld immersion blender or a food processor. The key for either method is to add the oil very slowly, in a steady stream, while the blender or processor is running. Of course, you can make it by hand, just keep whisking vigorously.
This eggless mayo has the same taste and texture as the traditional one. Exceptionally flavorful and creamy, and makes a wonderful addition to salads and sandwiches.
