What is a Mayonnaise?

Mayonnaise is an emulsified sauce made with eggs and oil.  The protein in the egg yolks gets emulsified with the fat in the oil to create a creamy sauce which is perfect for dipping fries,  chicken and other snacks. It is used as a spread for sandwiches too. 

About Eggless Mayonnaise (Veg Mayo)

Traditional mayo recipe is made using egg yolks and lots of oil. Emulsifying the mix in a blender is the trick. There may be so many reason which prevents the eggs getting emulsified. Many of my viewers have faced issues with their mayonnaise.

If you never had luck in making traditional mayo, here is a fail proof version of making the perfect creamy mayo made without eggs. This will be one of the best eggless mayonnaise you have made and you don’t have to worry about raw eggs.

There are many recipes online that uses only milk and oil to make mayo, but most of the time it doesn’t work. Since the protein from milk is not strong enough to create the emulsification. This recipe has flour as stabilizer which creates a creamy concoction without any issues. In addition,  this recipe uses just ¼ of the oil so it is part healthy.

Eggless Mayonnaise Ingredients

Plain flour - this recipe uses a simple bechamel sauce to make the base. Instead of plain flour, you can use cornstarch as well, check my variations to see how it is made. 

Milk - milk is added to plain flour to create the sauce which forms the base of the mayo. You can use almond milk, soy milk or low fat milk too.

Oil - I used ¼ cup of neutral oil in the mayo, you can use refined oil, vegetable oil or canola oil. 

Mustard - I used ground yellow mustard in this sauce, you can use mustard sauce. Mustard not only helps with the emulsification but also adds flavour. 

Lemon - lemon juice is used to get balanced taste and also helps with the emulsification process. 

Seasonings & flavourings - to get balanced round off taste, I added garlic, salt, sugar and black pepper.
