How to Prepare Oil-Free Mayonnaise With a Secret Ingredient [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until very smooth and silky, this might take a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt. Mayonnaise will be thin at this point, but will thicken up in the refrigerator. Allow to set in the fridge a couple hours before using. Store in the refrigerator and use within a week.
Feel free to omit the mustard, if you’re not a mustard fan. Experiment with adding other spices and flavorings, like garlic powder or dill, if you like.
