This recipe was adapted from “Tofu Cookery” by Louise Hagler. The oil has been omitted from an otherwise wonderful recipe and the quantity of tofu changed for convenience.
Combine in a blender:
1 box soft silken tofu
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 and 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
Blend until smooth and creamy. Use as mayonnaise on sandwiches or as a base for dips and salad dressings.
Could you please tell me how many ounces a “box” of tofu for this recipe is. I have come across many differing size packages of tofu. Thank you.
Does this taste like vegan mayo?
Can this recipe be frozen?

I would guess that it would keep about 2 weeks. That’s about how long I would be willing to trust it. 🙂

How long will this mayo last in the fridge?
Mmm that sounds good Amanda, I will try the umeboshi version. Yum 😀
I use a box of the silken tofu, and add about one tbsp on umabashi plum paste and blend in a food processor. It is yummy!!!
There are many variations to this. I use agave nectar instead of sugar. Apple cider vinegar is an alternative to the lemon juice. Adding a 1/2 tsp of dry mustard gives it a nice bite. Other options include curry powder, onion powder, etc. There are lots of ways to vary the flavor. Using Lite Silken Tofu reduces the fat content even further. It won’t taste like MAYO but it’s good.

BobA, a box refers to the 12.3 ounce MoriNu silken tofu: http://amzn.to/2FqoeQX
