Ingredients
Instructions
-
Drain the firm tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes for easier blending.
-
In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu cubes, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, agave nectar (or honey), salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the neutral-flavored oil. Continue blending until the oil is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
-
If the tofu mayo seems too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition until desired consistency is reached.
-
Taste the tofu mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lemon juice, or sweetener.
-
Transfer the tofu mayonnaise to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before using.
-
Use as a spread on sandwiches, a dressing for salads, or a creamy dip for veggies.
