Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sunflower oil | 100ml |
| Soy milk | 50ml |
| Salt | 1 pinch |
| Vinegar | 1 tablespoon |
| Cooked beetroot (for beetroot version) | 100g |

Instructions
Basic Eggless Mayonnaise:
To prepare the basic eggless mayonnaise, start by placing the soy milk, sunflower oil, a pinch of salt, and vinegar into a tall glass (a plastic jar from an immersion blender works perfectly). Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. This will be your base mayonnaise, ready for use as is or for customizing into various flavors.
Eggless Mayonnaise with Beetroot:
For the beetroot version, begin by cutting the precooked beetroot into small chunks. Add these beetroot pieces to the base mayonnaise mixture (from the previous step). Blend everything together with the immersion blender until smooth, and you’ll have a vibrant pink, creamy mayo with a slightly earthy flavor. Perfect for a colorful twist to any meal.
Eggless Mayonnaise with Mustard:
To make a mustard-flavored variation, follow the instructions for the base eggless mayonnaise, then transfer it to a small bowl. Stir in 50g of mustard (you can use Dijon or yellow mustard depending on your taste preference). Mix well, and your tangy mustard mayo is ready to serve!
Eggless Mayonnaise with Tomato:
For a tomato-infused mayo, prepare the base eggless mayonnaise as instructed. Then, in a separate bowl, mix in 40g of tomato paste and stir until fully combined. This version adds a rich, savory depth to your mayo, perfect for sandwiches, burgers, and more.
Eggless Mayonnaise with Chives:
For a fresh, herby twist, finely chop the chives. Prepare the base eggless mayonnaise as usual, and once it’s done, add the freshly chopped chives to the mix. Stir everything together, and youโll have a creamy, fresh mayo perfect for dipping or spreading.
