I never thought I’d be the person raving about gluten-free vegan mayonnaise, but here we are—and for good reason! This egg free mayo is a total game-changer. It’s smooth, creamy, and has just the right amount of zip to elevate any dish.

In the foreground is a small white dish filled with vegan mayonnaise. The background is blurred with a spoon, a striped black and white tea towel, and a white plate with tomato and mayo on toast.

Whether you’re dipping, spreading, or whisking it into a salad dressing, it delivers that perfect tangy punch every time. Trust me, once you try this, you’ll wonder why you ever bought the store-bought kind.

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions for egg free mayo

The first ingredients for vegan mayo are added in a food processor. The remaining ingredients are surrounding the processor in small white bowls.

Step 1: Place the soy milk in a food processor or use an immersion blender, and blend for about 1 minute until it becomes foamy.

All of the ingredients for egg free mayo are blended together in a food processor.

Step 2. Next, add the vegetable oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, and salt. Continue processing for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Hint:  If you feel like the mayonnaise is a little too thin, add a little bit more oil to it.

📖 Substitutions and Variations

This recipe is a BASE recipe, meaning you can add flavorings and adjust for different uses!

  • 🧄Garlic - add garlic to make aioli
  • 🌶️Sriracha - add sriracha for a spicy mayo

🔪 Equipment

Making a vegan replacement for mayonnaise only requires a couple of basic pieces of equipment. 

  • A food processor, blender, or immersion blender
  • Measuring spoons

The speed of your blender will make a difference. The faster the blender, the creamier the mayo!

🍽️ Storage

This gluten-free vegan mayo will store well in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If it loses its consistency during storage, simply whip it up with your blender again.

Freezing egg free mayo is not recommended.

⭐ Top tip

The oil you use will change the flavor. Use a neutral-flavored oil for a neutral-tasting mayo. Using olive oil or avocado oil will work, but will result in more flavor which you may or may not enjoy.
