Vegetarian Safflower Oil Mayonnaise (not vegan)

Note:
My hubby and oldest daughter love mayo and won't eat the vegan version, so this is the closest I could come to making a healthy version they would eat. Fortunately, this is delicious, easy, and they love it! I like it better than the Safflower Mayo I've been buying at Publix for $4.59, which contains extra ingredients we don't need. It only costs me me about $2.65 to make the same 12 oz jar of this. I save money by purchasing a 3-pak of Hollywood Safflower Oil for $15.91on amazon.com using the "subscribe n save" feature.
You can use organic yellow or stoneground mustard instead of brown if you like; I've used both. I prefer not to use olive oil for this recipe so I just use 1 1/2 cup safflower oil.

Vegetarian Safflower Oil Mayonnaise

By Devonviolet
Added May 06, 2010 | Recipe #423640

Devonviolet's Note:
I have been looking for a healthy "Mayo" recipe for a while now, and finally decided to try one, that I had found. It was a dismal failure. I think adding the mustard and lemon juice, at the beginning, may have caused the egg to curdle, and it never thickened. So, I tried mixing the egg and slowly drizzled oil mixture, first, and then the lemon, salt and mustard. Voila! Success! I used Brown Mustard with Horseradish, because that is what I had in the house. But, I think you could use Dijon or even yellow mustard, with excellent results. I mixed Olive Oil and Safflower Oil, because I had seen that Olive Oil, by it's self, it really strong. But, you can use any oil or combination of oils. I hope my recipe is what you are looking for, and that you enjoy it, as much as my hubby and I do.

Yummy Vegan Ranch Dressing Recipe

10 servings

Our vegan ranch dressing recipe satisfies the craving you get for something creamy. It is fine for weight loss as long as you use small portions.

Ingredients:

4 oz raw cashew pieces
1/8 oz minced garlic
1/2 oz pitted dates
2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz cider vinegar
6 oz water

2 tsp parsley flakes
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp basil

Directions:

In a blender, weigh cashew pieces, minced garlic, dates, fresh lemon juice, cider vinegar, and water.

Remove from scale and add parsley flakes, onion powder, dill weed, garlic powder, salt, and basil. Blend until smooth and refrigerate. Shake before using.

Comments: This raw ranch dressing is yummy on salads. Our original recipe used 1 oz of agave nectar to sweeten this dressing. One day, we tried adding a medjool date instead of the agave, and we loved it. The date added just a hint of sweetness, and the date fiber made the dressing thicker.

This dressing is also fantastic on steamed greens or other steamed vegetables. To cut down on fat and calories, use mainly our Balsamic Dressing Recipe and just drizzle a little Ranch Dressing on top of it.
