Here is my favorite mayo recipe - it is thick and great for sandwich spreads, thinned for salad dressing, or add some vegetable season salt to make a great vegetable dip. The only ingredient you might not have on hand is the Soy Supreme milk powder. The only supplier I know of is Country Life Natural Foods (
www.clnf.org) but I recommend going to the trouble to get it as it's only ingredient is soy beans (if you use it to make milk you have to add your own sweetener, vanilla, salt, and oil to taste) and it is cheaper by far than any other soy milk powder I know of (that should cheer your frugal heart, Richard
)
Here is the recipe:
Eggless Mayonnaise
1 c. Water
½ c. Packed soy milk or soy supreme pwd. (Plain flavor only)
1 t. Onion pwd.
3 t. Garlic pwd.
3 t. Vegetable Season Salt
½ t. Chicken-style seasoning
1/3 c. Oil or so
Blend all ingredients except oil on high speed. When well mixed, dribble in the oil slowly until hole in the middle closes. (The slower you add oil, the less it takes to thicken it.)
1/4 c. Lemon juice in a bowl
Add blended mixture to lemon juice and fold lemon juice in with spatula. Chill.
Yield: 2 cups
Serving Suggestions: May replace sour cream in many recipes.
Use to top baked potatoes
Add to mashed potatoes for creaminess
Use on tacos, burritos, haystacks, as topping.
Use on Russian beet soup (borscht)
I really like to use my homemade chicken style seasoning and season salt in this and many other recipes, so I always keep the following two herb blends on hand -
Chick-it Seasoning
Place in blender:
1 ½ c. nutritional yeast flakes
½ c. salt
1 ½ tsp. turmeric

Blend briefly to mix well. Allow powders to settle in blender a few minutes before opening. Store mixture in airtight jar in refrigerator. (both recipes are Adapted from Guiltfree Gourmet by Vicki Griffin)
