Title: Creamy Cashew Mayonnaise from Rainbow Recipes pge 95
Post by: judydawn on January 24, 2012, 12:34:59 pm
Aileen Sforcina, author of the above book, has been kind enough to grant permission to post this recipe.

This is a deliciously creamy mayonnaise.  The tang is achieved by the use of lemon juice rather than vinegar which is an irritating substance. This recipe can be used to replace traditional egg/milk/vinegar based mayonnaise preparations.

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashew nut pieces
1 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon or to taste
1 or 2 cloves garlic (optional)
1 tspn salt or to taste

Method

Place all ingredients into TM bowl and pulverise for 60 seconds on speed 9.

Serving suggestions - Serve as for mayonnaise with salads.
                              Delicious served with potato salad or coleslaw.
                              Serve on hot jacket potatoes.

This keeps for about 5 days in the fridge, longer if you omit the garlic. It is a thin mayonnaise but by simply cooking it, you can make it thicker to the consistency of philly cream cheese. Add fresh chives and you have cashew sour cream with chives. Good on jacket potatoes, as a dip with raw vegies or with crackers or any bread.

It's the only mayonnaise I make now as well, so quick and easy.  Egg salad for me with this mayo tomorrow.

Bumping this recipe.  I made it again today - it is so easy and tasty ... and it doesn't split or give you any problems; what more could you want?
