Homemade Vegan Mayonnaise Recipe

Tuesday, 1.19.21

My 2nd Peanuts Gang cook book recipe that will be converted to vegan or vegetarian version is Miss Othmar’s Tested Mayonnaise. Although I usually by Vegenaise at Mother’s Market, I thought it would be fun to create my own vegan mayonnaise. Miss Othmar is the teacher in the Peanuts Gang cartoon, who talks like a robot because Charles Schultz didn’t want to acknowledge any adults in his cartoon series. The cartoon was mostly to five kids a voice, while adults are in the background or nonexistent because they didn’t matter.

Ingredients:

1. 2 egg-substitute–which might be avocado, pine nuts, cashews, or pistachio nuts. 
2. 1 TABLESPOON of dry mustard
3. 1 TABLESPOON of vinegar–choose your preferred vinegar. I prefer ACV.
4.  1 TEASPOON of salt
5.  1/2 TEASPOON  of pepper
6. 1/2 TEASPOON of paprika
7. 1 1/2 cups of salad oil–whether olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil or sesame oil
8. 3 TABLESPOON  of fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed from a lemon. 

Place your choice of egg-substitute–I prefer avocado–in a deep mixing bowl. Add dry mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add oil while beating and stirring the mixture, whether with a spoon or an electric beater. Add in lemon juice and continue mixing well.
