A bit of history

Mayonnaise has its roots in a rich culinary tradition, used for centuries as a versatile sauce. Over time, numerous variations have emerged, each with unique characteristics. The recipe we propose today is not only quick and simple but also adds nutritional value due to the soy milk, making it an excellent alternative for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Step by step for perfect mayonnaise

1. Preparing the ingredients
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, which will help emulsify the mixture more easily. Start by shaking the soy milk well from its container.

2. Mixing
In the bowl of the immersion blender, add the oil, soy milk, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. It is important to respect the order of the ingredients, as the oil should be at the bottom to help form the emulsions.

3. Initial mixing
Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the bowl and turn it on at low speed. Blend for about 1 minute without lifting it. This step is essential to start the emulsification process.

4. Emulsification
After 1 minute, raise and lower the blender in the bowl while continuing to blend. This will help gradually incorporate the oil into the mixture. Continue until the mayonnaise becomes thick and creamy, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes.

5. Testing the consistency
To check if the mayonnaise is ready, you can turn the bowl upside down. If the mayonnaise doesn't spill, you're on the right track!

6. Final taste
Adjust the taste with salt and pepper according to your preferences. If you want a stronger flavor, you can add more mustard or lemon juice.

7. Serving
Your mayonnaise is now ready! You can use it immediately or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. It is perfect to be served alongside potato salads, sandwiches, or even as a dip for raw vegetables.

Useful tips

- If you want to add extra flavor, you can incorporate garlic paste or fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley) into your mayonnaise.
- You can also experiment with different types of oils to achieve varied flavors. For example, avocado oil can add an interesting note.
- If the mayonnaise turns out too thin, you can add a little more oil while continuing to blend until you achieve the desired consistency.

This sauce can be a healthy choice, especially if you replace classic mayonnaise in your favorite dishes.
