This Vegan Cashew Mayonnaise is a great sauce, dressing, and dip in vegan refrigerated staples. Cashew Mayonnaise is nutritious, easy to make, and very flavourful. I am trying to avoid store-bought vegan mayo because it is usually made off sunflower or canola oils, which are highly inflammatory and lead to heart disease. Raw nuts and seeds are on the opposite, contain healthy fats, rich in protein and trace minerals. That is why I chose to make my own vegan cashew mayonnaise to get not just great flavour, but also maximum health benefits and avoid junky ingredients.
This cashew mayo is:
- oil-free
- sugar-free
- gluten-free
- egg-free
- dairy-free
