Ingredients
1 cup Raw Cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours or overnight)
1/2 cup Water (more or less for desired consistency)
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard or Yellow Mustard
1 clove Garlic (optional)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
Add the cashews, water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender. (Add almost all of the water, check the consistency, then add more if needed.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
If the mayo is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, lemon juice, or vinegar to suit your taste.
Transfer the mayo to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It should keep for about a week.
