Be the first to write a review

By , About.com Guide

Make a gourmet homemade vegan mayonnaise with fresh basil. Vegetable oil and soy milk is used instead of eggs in this dairy-free and egg-free homemade gourmet basil mayonnaise recipe. Be sure to follow the instructions and add the oil very, very slowly, as this is the only way to get a homemade vegan mayonnaise to thicken properly.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • dash cayenne

Preparation:

Put all the ingredients except the oil in a blender or food processor and process on low speed.

Gradually add the oil a few drops at a time until the mixture thickens. Continue blending until smooth and creamy. Chill before serving; mayonnaise will thicken as it cools.
