Raw Vegan Mayonnaise Recipe – The best ever! Really, I promise!
I love mayonnaise in lots of things I make every day. Mayo adds a creamy texture and a little bit of sweetness to sauces, wraps, dressings and so much more.
I’ve been searching for a good recipe to replace the store-bought mayo…so expensive.. I really want to make my own! This recipe is adapted from Cafe Gratitude http://cafegratitude.com/ So happy I found it, it’s a keeper for sure!
Finally, I struck gold! After many attempts at recipes that sounded good and didn’t taste that good, I really lucked out! This recipe has been around for awhile and is filled with nothing but awesome ingredients, tastes wonderful and will add another layer of flavour and texture to whatever you are creating.
Another bonus is it will last in your fridge for a couple of weeks. For that reason, I make one batch, use it up then make a fresh one. Its pretty easy to put together and you’ll want a fresh batch regularly.
The other good news is that it is gluten-free, dairy-free, raw, and vegan and it tastes so yummy. You can thank me later!
So simple to make too…

How to make the Raw Vegan Mayonnaise Ever!
- Soak the cashews, rinse and drain, and put them in your high-speed blender (preferred, could use a regular blender or food processor).
- Add in water, lemon, dates, salt and spices. Blend till super creamy and smooth.
- When it is creamy and smooth, slowly pour the oil into the blender while going (through the safely spout on the lid) until all the oil has been added and the mayo is nice and thick
- Store the mayo in a sealed container and use it whenever you desire. You can spice it up with additional herbs and change the flavour for whatever recipe you are creating. Make a dressing, add it to your potato and cheese patties, put some in a dip. Have fun!
