Health Class

Here I am doing a demo at Health Class this past Thursday night. I finally found a mayo recipe that is as good and better (because it's way cheaper!) than vegenaise! It isn't fat free by any means - still the oil - so don't eat it by the spoonfuls, but there is no vinegar or sugar of any kind. Just five simple ingredients. So simple to make. Tastes great.

SOY MAYO

Put in blender:
1 C unsweetened soymilk
½ - 3/4 tsp onion powder
½ - 3/4 tsp salt

Blend on high, slowly adding 1 C oil. Drizzle the oil into the “hole” in the ingredients in the blender. Once the hold is closed, turn off blender and fold in:

 2 T lemon juice

Makes over 2 cups. Store in refrigerator. Keeps about 1 week.

It's great anywhere you would use vegenaise, and even sour cream for that matter. Baked potatoes, haystacks, sandwiches, in recipes, dip, etc, etc.

And if you use regular mayo still, well, you gotta try this. It's so much healthier. No cholestrol, so saturated fat. Your body will thank you. Here's the comparison to Hellman's Mayo.
