Vegan silken tofu mayonnaise was one of those recipes that totally surprised me because I did not expect something so simple to taste this much like regular mayo.
After trying it, I realized I do not miss the traditional version at all-this one is smooth, creamy, silky, and ready in less than 5 minutes. I also love that it is packed with protein and made without any oil, so I can enjoy it as often as I want.
I use it all the time in sandwiches, spoon it over my eggless latkes, stir it into potato salads, and enjoy it with red lentil tofu whenever I want something easy and tasty.
Even my cat became a fan of this recipe and sat next to me purring for more while I was photographing it 🙂

- Lemon juice: Makes the mayo taste fresh and bright.

💡Marinela's Tip
Use silken firm tofu for the smoothest, creamiest mayo. Regular firm tofu can turn grainy and won't give that silky, mayo-like texture.
