Notes
*Canned or precooked beans will NOT work in this recipe. The bean juice needs to be exacted from soaked uncooked beans. Then this bean juice is cooked into a custard.LOW FAT OPTION AND CHOICE OF OIL**You may use only 2 tablespoons of oil in this recipe if you want this mayonnaise to be low fat. In this case, start with just 1 tablespoon water. Otherwise, the mixture might be too watery to emulsify properly.I have had best results with sunflower or vegetable oil. Olive oil does not work very well; it leaves a somewhat bitter aftertaste in the mayonnaise. So, I do recommend using the recommended oil as per the recipe.CALORIE CONTENTCalorie calculation is based on a one tablespoon serving (with 4 tablespoons sunflower oil used in the recipe). If you vary the amount of oil, calorie amount will change.SHELF LIFE***This mayonnaise may keep for more than a month if clean utensils are used. But for food safety, 2 weeks is the recommended shelf life. Go by the smell test to determine its freshness.Buy Indian black salt (kala namak) from here - https://amzn.to/2J1JwTTLink to original post - Eggless Mayonnaise | Vegan Mayo Recipe - https://veganlovlie.com/mayonnaise-recipe-lowfat-soyfree-vegan/
