What is vegan mayo made of?
At the root of most vegan mayonnaises, there’s generally plant-based milk which is often unsweetened soy. When combined with the remaining ingredients, this acts as the emulsifier, binding the mayo together – much like an egg does in non-vegan mayo.
After this, oil, neutral-tasting vinegar and salt are added, perhaps with the addition of mustard, herbs, spices, garlic or maple syrup for seasoning.
