Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from a can of unsalted chickpeas)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Miso paste (chickpea-based for soy-free alternative)
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a tall, narrow container or blender, combine the aquafaba, lemon juice, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend for about 15 seconds to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 2

While blending on low speed, slowly drizzle in the avocado oil in a thin, steady stream. As you add the oil, the mixture will start to emulsify and thicken.

Step 3

Once all the oil has been added and the mayo is smooth and creamy, stop the blender and add the chickpea-based miso paste and smoked paprika.

Step 4

Blend for an additional 5-10 seconds until the miso paste and smoked paprika are fully incorporated into the mayo.

Step 5

Adjust salt or lemon juice to taste if needed, blending briefly to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the soy-free umami mayo to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
