Ingredients

½ cup unsweetened soy milk at room temperature
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon juice or to taste
¼ to ½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon mustard powder or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of kala namak for eggy flavor (optional)
1 cup neutral flavored oil

Instructions

Immersion blender: Add the soy milk, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, mustard powder, and kala namak (if using) to the canister and blend, moving the stick up and down, until it starts to thicken.
Slowly add the oil while blending, moving the stick up and down in the mixture. If the mixture is too thin, add more oil as needed.
Food processor: Add the soy milk to the canister and blend for one minute, or until it starts to thicken.
Add the vinegar, lemon juice, salt, mustard powder, and kala namak (if using). Process for another minute until everything is blended.
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Then, with the food processor running, slowly add the oil until about one quarter has been added for proper emulsification. Continue to add the oil slowly, but increase it to a thin stream instead of drops.
After all the oil has been added, scrape the bowl, and then process the mixture for 10 seconds. Taste the mayo, and adjust the salt to taste.
It will thicken in the refrigerator, but If you think the mayonnaise is too thin, you can blend a little more oil into it. Do this slowly.

Notes

Soy milk is required for proper emulsification.
This vegan mayonnaise will continue to thicken once refrigerated, but If the mixture is too thin upon blending, you can slowly add more oil as needed.
Storage: Refrigerate vegan mayonnaise in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. As it sits, some liquid might pool at the top. Simply mix it with a spoon.
