Comments
Instead of mayonnaise, I put an avocado in the food blender and used that. It still gave me some healthy fats and was yummy!
Tried this recipe at an event recently. Wow I was really surprised by how tasty it is. I'll have to add it to my list to make at home now.
This recipe sounds pretty good but I'm egg sensitive. I could not find a recipe for an eggless mayonnaise on this site, is there one? If not please you consider adding one. TIA
We have a few eggless recipes on our site but that is not our focus. Mayonnaise substitutes without eggs are commercially available although they may be called spreads or dressing since mayonnaise is a legally defined food product. Read the ingredient list to be sure eggs are not included.
