Ingredients

• 2 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted tahini
• 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.75 cup Neutral oil (grapeseed, avocado, or vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolks, unsalted tahini, low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos, rice vinegar, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl or a blender.

Step 2

Using a whisk or the blending function, mix until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

While continuously whisking or blending, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil in a thin stream. This emulsifies the mixture and creates a creamy consistency.

Step 4

Continue adding the oil until it is fully incorporated. If the mayo becomes too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste the mayo and adjust flavors if needed. You may add a few more drops of lemon juice or a pinch of nutritional yeast to boost the umami flavor without adding salt.

Step 6

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve as a spread, dip, or condiment as desired. The mayo will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
