Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe

I didn't get great photos of the mayonnaise, but boy, it sure tastes good! It is easy to make, and much less expensive than store-bought vegan mayonnaise.

Egg Free Mayonnaise (vegan)

Makes 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Ingredients
1/2 cup soaked cashews*
1/2 cup filtered water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3/4 Tbsp agave nectar
1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 - 2/3 cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil

Method
Add all ingredients except olive oil to VitaMix and blend. With blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil through the little opening in the top of the VitaMix lid until you achieve the desired consistency.

*Raw (not roasted) cashews. Cashews only need to soak for about 4 hours, but overnight is OK if that is easier.

Health benefits of: cashews, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon, sea salt, agave nectar

Eco-Friendly Friday

In addition to healing recipes, I'd love to share about healing environments.

I'm considering creating a series called "Eco Friendly Fridays" What do you think?

I have all kinds of exciting ideas to share about creating a non-toxic, healing home environment. Over the past few years, I've tried tons of DIY "green" (non-toxic) recipes for cleaning products, pest control, and even skin care and beauty products. I'd love to pass along what has worked for me, and learn more about what has worked for others.

New for me- at this very moment while I type, I am trying a (commercial) eco-friendly, no-fume oven cleaner in my oven (no heat). I am about to mix up a recipe for organic weed control, using white vinegar. I'm pretty excited about that one. I'll report back with results... maybe for next week's edition of Eco-Friendly Friday?
