Oil-Free Aioli

Jump To Recipe

Are you on team mayonnaise? It seems like folks either love this condiment…or avoid it at all costs. But aioli, on the other hand, is hailed as creamy, rich and delicious. So what’s the difference and how do I make it plant based?

Aioli, just like mayo, is an emulsion of oil and egg yolk with other flavors like vinegar and lemon, but with lots of garlic. You can get that same rich silky texture, without the eggs and oil, by blending silken tofu and adding the same flavors. The result is totally oil-free and totally decadent.

Vegan oil-free aioli works beautifully in any recipe calling for traditional aioli or mayo. Slather it on sandwiches, pasta salads, or use as a veggie dip. You can make this protein-rich, healthy condiment with pantry staples in about 5 minutes. And at 12 protein rich calories per tablespoon, your sammie never tasted so good!
