Alkaline Plant-Based Mayo Recipe
Creating an alkaline plant-based mayonnaise is a great way to enjoy a healthier, more balanced condiment. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe that adheres to the principles of an alkaline diet, using ingredients that are low in acid and high in nutrients.
Ingredients:
1 cup of soaked raw cashews (soak for at least 2 hours or overnight)
1/4 cup of alkaline water (use filtered water with a pH level of around 8-9)
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (lemon is alkaline-forming in the body)
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
1 tablespoon of olive oil (cold-pressed extra virgin)
1 clove of garlic (optional, for flavor)
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt (unrefined)
1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
Soak the Cashews: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. This step is crucial for a creamy texture.
Blend the Ingredients: Place the soaked cashews, alkaline water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, and mustard powder in a high-speed blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Adjust Consistency: If the mayo is too thick, add a small amount of alkaline water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mayo and add more salt, lemon juice, or mustard powder as needed.
Store Properly: Transfer the mayo to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to one week.
Tips:
Alkaline Water: You can make your own alkaline water by adding a pinch of baking soda to filtered water or by using a water ionizer.
Flavor Variations: Customize your mayo by adding herbs like dill or basil, or spices like smoked paprika for different flavor profiles.
This alkaline plant-based mayo is not only versatile but also aligns with the principles of an alkaline diet, helping to maintain a balanced pH in your body. Enjoy it as a spread, dip, or dressing!
