.mayo alternatives for vegan cooking.

need a vegan alternative for mayonnaise? health food stores carry a variety of brands, with different flavors and options to choose from.

this works well on sandwiches or in any vegan recipe that calls for mayonnaise. it doesn’t quite taste like mayo, but it’s pretty good. one of my favorite vegan cafés uses it on sandwiches, and my favorite is for the grilled “ham and cheese”.

this is my first pick for a vegan alternative to mayo. i’ve never liked mayonnaise, but miracle whip (salad dressing) instead. it’s not exactly the same, but it comes close. use it on sandwiches, or any recipe that calls for mayo or salad dressing (miracle whip).

  • hummus:

hummus works great on sandwiches, toast, and bagels. there are so many flavors to choose from you’ll be sure to find one you’ll like. check back here for some of my hummus recipes in the future.

  • avocado:

works much like hummus on sandwiches, and toast and gives a different flavor. just mash a ripe one, and spread it on.

    I use the vegenaise. It is really good.

    I’m with you! I always preferred the taste of Miracle Whip to mayonnaise, and so I also like Nayonaise (especially the fat-free version), to Vegenaise, too.

    Great stuff! Though, my favorite vegan mayo substitute of them all is Miso Mayo.

    I have only tried nayonaise but didn’t like it.

    For sandwiches and such we just use hummus as well , if it’s a *must* in recipe I have had luck with tahini. I’m not a big fan of mayo-y foods though, so haven’t had much need to substitute!

    Mmm, Nayonaise. I’ve tried the Miso Mayo too, and liked that as well but have more actual sandwich making experience with Nayonaise (both the fat free & the regular).

    I was a Miracle Whip nut in my pre-vegan days, and I did not like Nayonaise one bit. Vegenaise has won my heart. Best sandwich spread ever. I do also really like avocado and hummus, but I don’t think of them as mayo substitutes.

    I was a fan of nayonaise until I tried veganaise. I haven’t looked back since. Actually, I have looked back and I’ve cringed because I realize how inferior nayonaise really is :-p

    It depends on the recipe. Between Vegenaise and Nayonaise, I like the vegenaise the best. For sandwhiches, I’ll use any of the above. I really like avocado spread the best. For potato or pasta salad, I’ll use vegenaise.

    Awesome! Ahahaha! Stop it, you’re killing me! Anyway, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this is great.
