Units
Scale
- *1 cup Cashews (soaked or boiled)
- 1/2 cup Purified water
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar (raw, unfiltered)
- 1 1/2 tsp Mustard powder or dijon mustard

- ***1/2 cup Oil
Optional (flavour combos)
- 1/8 to 1/4 cup Pesto (reduce the oil from above)

Instructions
- Soak or boil your cashews.
- Add everything except the oil to the blender. Blend on high until smooth (45-60 seconds). Scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula.

Notes
*The Cashews:
- You can soak raw, unseasoned cashews in room temp water for 4 hours (this will keep your may raw and packed with EXTRA enzymes).
- You can boil the cashews for 15-mins. A great option if you’re short on time.
**The Garlic:
- I like granulated garlic. I prefer it to garlic powder in most recipes, because it’s a little less… potent.
- In this recipe, getting the right ratio of fresh garlic can be tricky. Raw garlic gets more potent by the day, so I suggest starting with ½ a clove. Alternatively, you could use roasted garlic for a lovely roasted garlic mayo.
***The Oil
- I use half avocado and half olive oil. The olive oil has a pretty strong flavour and I prefer a less intense taste in this recipe. Grapeseed is another good option, though keep in mind it’s got a higher Omega-6 ratio than avocado oil.
- ** If you do a pesto or truffle mayo, be sure to include that in the total oil used.
