"A great vegan mayo I tried recently to use with a potato salad, this is fantastic vegan mayo, I've tried many recipes this one is really good! It's not just for vegans but great for those who are watching their cholesterol and gluten-free diets. This will yield about 1 1/2 cups. *** Some substitutions you can try: Silk unsweetened almond milk, apple cider vinegar in place of white wine, lime juice in place of lemon, and extra virgin olive oil in place of the canola or grapeseed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the almond milk and ground flax in a blender. Blend on high speed until flax meal is barely noticeable and the mixture is frothy (about a minute).
Step 2
Add the sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, (if using, the garlic powder)salt, vinegar and lemon juice, blending for a few seconds to combine.
Step 3
Using the small hole on top of your blender add the oil, stream in a tablespoon at a time, blending for about 30 seconds after each addition (if using a high power blender like Vitamix 5 to 10 secs should do it.). Give your blender a break every now and again so that it doesn’t heat up the mayo. You should notice it thickening by the halfway point. By the time you’ve used 3/4 of the oil, it should be spreadable. And with the last addition, you should have a thick mayo. If it seems watery, keep blending.
Step 4
It will probably taste saltier and tangier than you’d like straight out of the blender, the flavors mellow and becomes perfect. *** Transfer to glass jar seal tightly and refrigerate for 6 hours before using and it will thicken even further.
Step 5
Use within a week.
