Is Mayonnaise purely vegetarian?

Answer 1

The previous answers to this questrion are right: most commerical mayonnaise contains eggs.

However, you buy vegan mayonnaise at most health food stores. They are actually very good, in terms of taste.

Also, you can make vegan alternatives at home. Here are two recipes:

===================

1. Miracle Whip / Mayonnaise

3/4 cup Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1/2 cup Vinegar
------------
3/4 cup Vegetable oil
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp dry Mustard
3/4 cup silken tofu

Cook together flour, sugar, water, and vinegar until thick.
Combine last 5 ingredients in a blender and blend well.
While flour mixture is still hot, add it to blender mixture and blend.
===================

2. No egg Real Mayonnaise

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup oil

Using a food processor or
good hand blender or mixer, mix:
Mustard, salt, pepper, and 2 Tablespoons oil.
Keeping the blender on high, add lemon juice and in a very slow stream, the rest of the oil.
This should all at once get thick and turn white.
Immediately, turn off blender.
