Mayonnaise isn't vegan because the key ingredient is egg. Since I'm dairy-free and egg-free, I frequently experiment with vegan sauces and dips!
This mayo is vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. It's great smothered on sandwiches and used in place of "normal" mayo.

Aquafaba is the liquid/brine inside a can of chickpeas. It's great for vegan baking and in this recipe, it works with the oil to emulsify for an egg-free mayonnaise.
