I originally posted this in September of 2006, but for some reason when I transferred my blog over from the old blog to the new blog, this post didn’t make it….not quite sure why, BUT I’m glad I had told a friend about this recipe and told her I’d send her the link otherwise I may have never known that it didn’t make the transfer. The old blog is still available for me to access….at least until the weekend 🙂
9/21/06 This morning when I was making my hubby’s lunch I realized that I was almost out of mayonnaise and have been wanting to try something out…..so I made tofu mayonnaise.
Here’s what I did, and it turned out very good! The best part is, I have these items on hand all the time. If you wanted it thicker, you can stream in more oil and let it emulsify more.
10 ounces (almost a full box) soft silken tofu
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
1/4-1/3 cup grapeseed oil
In my food processor, I blended everything but the grapeseed oil until everything was well blended. Then I started adding the oil in slowly in a steady stream until the mayo started to thicken up.
It tastes REALLY good! Most recipes that I found had lemon juice, and I don’t have any lemon juice, so I tried this one. Less expensive than Veganaise and regular mayo…. and it’s made with things that I keep on hand 
I’m not a fan of tofu at all, but this sounds good. I may just have to set aside my preconceived notions of tofu LOL
Lori, I have to say that I have tried many different recipes for mayo that used tofu. I have not been a fan of any of them. I am going to try this today though, because I am in a place now where we really need to start watching our spending. vegenaise around here is about $8 for a quart! I’ve already made a batch of the homemade laundry detergent, thanks to you posting about it on FB the other day! I had pinned a recipe months ago, and never did it! LOL Thank you! Love your blog! I’m going to peruse it for bread recipes!
Jeannette you will have to let me know what you think! If the tofu is too prominent you can add more spices or fresh herbs. I don’t know of anything else besides tofu that you could substitute for the egg yolks in making a mayo. I’m pretty sure Veganaise is made from tofu….. but $8 a quart, WOW!
