How to Make Tofu Mayonnaise

This is a simple and satisfying substitute to regular mayonnaise, providing good protein and the nutritional benefits of soy. It's an easy way to incorporate tofu into anyone's diet!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• silken tofu
• blender or food processor or immersion blender
• good dijon mustard
• apple cider vinegar
• salt

1. Drain a block of preferably silken firm tofu in a colander or strainer over the sink. Some recommend turning a plate upside-down onto the tofu, with a small weight like a can of beans on top. (Usually 12 to 14 ounces--the Mori-Nu aseptic boxes work really well.)

2. To the blender or food processor (or bowl if using an immersion blender)add 1 tsp good dijon mustard (like Grey Poupon), 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tsp salt, or really to taste (though the salt also assists in preservation).

3. Blend until shiny and smooth and no little lumps remain. This usually takes only a minute or two depending on the type and consistency of the tofu. Scrape down the sides as necessary.

4. Enjoy!
