Ingredients
Oil-Free Vegan Mayo
- 12 oz package silken tofu silken (custard style) tofu is recommended; regular tofu might not work for this recipe

Low Sodium Vegan Spicy Mayo Spices
- 1/4 cup Oil-Free Vegan Mayo you could sub store-bought vegan mayo, but it won't likely be oil-free; add more mayo if it's too spicy
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
- salt optional; to taste. I like to keep this low-sodium and I find it don't usually need salt. If you decide to add salt 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon should be enough.

How spicy?
That's up to you, the cayenne provides the heat-spice. You can lower or increase the cayenne to suit your taste. If you find it's too hot, just mix in more mayo to tone it down. The rest of the spices are flavor-forward, not hot.Do I have to make the mayo?
Nah. You don't have to do anything. You could sub store-bought mayo, but it likely won't be oil-free.What do I do with the leftover Oil-Free Vegan Mayo?
Great question! Here are some delicious things to do with it:- Grilled Avocado & Vegan Crab-less Salad Wrap or Oil-Free Flaked Crab-less Vegan Salad

- freeze it and use it later (I recommend an air-tight container & thawing in the fridge or at room temp)
- enjoy with veggies or sammies
- whatever you normally do with mayo
