1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

Base

1 cup raw cashews Soaking is essential for a smooth texture.
0.5 cup water Add more for a thinner consistency.

Flavor

2 tablespoons lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Adds a tangy flavor.
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Adds depth of flavor.
0.5 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder Optional, for added flavor.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.
If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar to taste.
Transfer the cashew mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mayonnaise to thicken further.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try roasting the cashews before soaking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
