This vegan chipotle mayonnaise recipe is easy to make at home. Just 5 minutes and 5 simple ingredients are all you need for the best vegan chipotle mayo.
INGREDIENTS
- Aquafaba: Aquafaba is the liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas. To substitute you can use white bean liquid. Both work equally well.
- Oil: Use neutral-tasting oil like canola oil, vegetable, or sunflower oil. Olive oil gives this recipe a bit bitter flavor that overpowers the flavor of the mayonnaise and changes the taste of the recipe to not so pleasant taste.
- Dijon mustard: Adds great flavor to the mayonnaise.
- Chipotle: For this recipe, I used chipotle paste. If you'll like to substitute, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or chipotle chili powder are great alternatives.
- Lemon: Even though we are using a small amount of lemon juice, it is important not to skip adding it to your mayonnaise. Lemon juice is an important ingredient as it balances out the flavor and adds a little acid to the mayo.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY
- Use a food processor, high-speed blender, or immersion blender to blend everything together.
- Pour the oil very slowly, little by little while you continue to blend.
- Make sure not to over-blend the mayo. Over blending can cause it to break. Blend it just until you reach the right mayonnaise form and then stop.
- Add one teaspoon chipotle paste before adding more. Do the taste test to make sure your mayonnaise is not too spicy. We are aiming for a spicy flavor, but not too spicy.
