Time 5 Minutes
Skill Level Intermediate

Ingredients List

 

Serves 1
  • 100 g silken tofu
  • tbsp mustard
  • 0.5 medium lemon (extract juice from)
  • 1 dl flaxseed oil

Instructions

  1. Blend the silken tofu, mustard and lemon juice together until smooth.
  2. Add the flaxseed oil.
  3. Continue to blend until you reach your desired consistency.
 

Notes

  • Add some chopped garlic to the mix and blend with the tofu for an aioli equivalent.
  • Try adding some other spices, like curry or paprika.
  • This mayonnaise works very well as a dip for raw or cooked vegetables, or as a binder in making potato cakes.
  • Keeps for several days covered in the refrigerator. 
  • If you don’t like the taste of flaxseed oil, substitute for extra virgin olive oil.
