Vegan Chipotle Mayo
When it comes to condiments, my heart belongs to vegan chipotle mayonnaise. I had to give it its own recipe listing because I use it all the time! Cross referencing, you know? It’s super simple, but it packs a lot of punch. It cools my sweet potato based veggie burgers and adds some kick to my hearts of palm “fish” tacos. I use veganaise, which I typically buy commercially, but there are plenty of recipes online if you’d like to make it yourself. Simple Vegan Blog has a recipe, as does the Minimalist Baker. These are both blogs that I follow regularly. There are a few basic ingredients in Simple Vegan Blog’s recipe — oil, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar and salt. The Minimalist Baker’s is a little different, using aquafaba which is just the leftover liquid in a can of chickpeas. I am very curious to try this one.
In any event, to make my chipotle mayo, I combine the veganaise with chipotle paste. I use Olo’s Chipotle Paste, which is marketed as a vegan product. I prefer this over using canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce just because the spice factor is a little more consistent. But if you really want some fire you can chop a canned chipotle pepper and add a teaspoon of adobo sauce and mix that with the veganaise instead.
