Do you know of a good homemade substitute for mayo?
I am allergic to wheat (flour) eggs, soy. I have tried substituting yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, etc. but cannot get the consistancy and flavor I want. I would love some ideas.
Answers:
Hi Beebs! Check out the product linked below. With the Ener-G egg replacer you can make a pretty decent mayo substitute for sandwiches and whatnot. If you use rice milk and have Xanthan gum you can thicken the rice milk with Xanthan and add a dash of lemon juice for the tartness. You can also make non-soy tofu from white beans like navy or great northern beans! If you make your non-soy curd using lemon juice as the coagulant the end product is very similar to mayo and works well in recipes that call for mayo. If you'd like details on how to do any of these just ask me!
