Aquafaba recipe
Aquafaba is the liquid left over from cooking legumes. In our recipe, mayonnaise is made from peas or canned beans. White or red doesn’t matter.
Composition:
- Aquafaba – 100 ml.
- Hot mustard – 1 tsp.
- Unscented sunflower oil – 200 ml.
- Black pepper (ground) – a pinch
- Lemon juice – 1 tsp.
- Sugar – 1 h. l.
- Salt to taste
How to do:
- Pour the aquafaba into a glass for an immersion blender.
- Lower the blender and press it to the base of the glass.
- Beat until the liquid begins to thicken, then, without raising the blender, slowly pour in the oil.
- When you get a homogeneous mass, add the remaining ingredients.
- Continue beating with normal movements until thick.
- Lenten pea mayonnaise is ready!
100 ml of aquafaba comes from about two cans of peas
In the same way you can make lean mayonnaise with vegetable milk. Replacing the liquid from aquafaba legumes with it, you get an excellent lean sauce instead of mayonnaise.
With starch
If you don’t have canned legumes on hand, you can make lean mayonnaise from starch. Also look at our pp recipes for mayonnaise.
We will need:
- Starch (preferably corn) – 1 tbsp. l.
- Water – 150 ml.
- Hot mustard – 1 tsp.
- Unscented vegetable oil – 200 ml.
- Lemon juice – 1 tsp. (can be replaced with apple cider vinegar)
- Sugar – 1 h. l.
- Black pepper (ground) – a pinch
- Salt to taste
Recipe:
- Mix the starch with two tablespoons of water, while boiling the rest of the water.
- After boiling, stirring with a whisk, pour in the dissolved starch and turn off the heat.
- Add all ingredients except salt and oil, mix and cool.
- Using an immersion blender, begin to beat the starch, gradually adding oil.
- Add salt to taste and thoroughly beat the already thickened sauce.
This is how you make mayonnaise without eggs and milk at home!
Cashew recipe
Another homemade mayonnaise without eggs and milk, and it’s also vegan cashew mayonnaise.
We will need:
- Cashews – 1 cup
- Mustard – 1 tsp.
- Sunflower oil (flavorless) – 3 tbsp. l.
- Plant milk 30-50 ml.
- Apple vinegar – 1 tbsp. l.

- Beat until smooth, adjust thickness with milk.
- Add salt and, if necessary, add milk or boiled water.
You can use any vegetable milk – soy, oat, rice. This lean mayonnaise is suitable for raw foodists. Based on this mayonnaise, you can prepare lenten sauces.
From avocado
Avocado mayonnaise is not very difficult to prepare and takes 5 minutes. Perhaps this is the most natural mayonnaise without eggs.
We will need:
- Ripe avocado – 2 pcs.
- Garlic – 2 cloves.
- Honey – 0.5 tbsp. l.
- Olive oil – 1 tbsp. l.
- White balsamic vinegar/lemon juice – 1 tsp.
- Salt to taste.
How to cook:
- Remove the pulp from the avocado and prepare it for a blender.
- Peel the garlic and press through a garlic press.
- Mix all ingredients and thoroughly beat with a blender until smooth puree.
- Store in the refrigerator for no more than two days.
It turns out to be more of an avocado sauce than a mayonnaise. But as a lean salad dressing it is excellent.
With whole grain flour
This is another low-calorie mayonnaise based on flour and oil. For benefit, we use whole grain flour and olive oil. This mayonnaise is also made without milk, but this does not affect the taste in any way.
Composition:

- Olive oil – 100 ml
- Mustard – 1 tbsp. l.
- Lemon juice – 1 tsp.
- Water – 100 ml

It is better to sift the flour before cooking.

- Separately mix butter, mustard and lemon juice with sugar.
- Using a blender, beat the resulting mass, slowly adding the diluted flour to it.
- Bring everything until thick and add salt to taste.
You can use any flour, but not wheat. Rice, corn, chickpeas are suitable. It can be used as white pizza sauce.
Soy mayonnaise
This recipe is based on soy milk and flour, for benefit it is better to use rice or any non-wheat flour. The recipe is lean and vegetarian.

Now you know how to make lean mayonnaise at home. The recipe for mayonnaise without eggs is simple. After all, the yolk, which contains lecithin, which is needed to bind the oil with other components, can be replaced.
This is where eggplant, seeds, nuts, even Dukan tofu come to our aid.
