More mayo!: Earth Balance Mindful Mayo made w/ Olive Oil (http://allergy.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/19657/start/1)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I had no idea veganaise existed, and we had only been using nayonaise. None of us liked it, so we usually did without. After reading this thread, I decided to look for the veganaise or the earth balance. I found the veganaise and it is wonderful!!!!! Tastes JUST like real mayo! I had a real tuna sandwich! We have big plans now- a small batch of real potato salad ;D THANK YOU....This is why I LOVE this board! :-*
Veganaise is good; I'm wondering about the taste of the Earth Balance?
Well, Ginger, someone else may have to report in on the Earth Balance.
I love Vegenaise so much that I have to confess that I've never really even looked for another substitute. Tried the nayonaise, too, and it was pretty nasty.
I love me a good vegeniase macaroni salad. :smooch:
Okay, CM, this means you'll have to post your macaroni salad recipe for me. Please?
The Earth Balance mindful mayos (there are two soy-free versions and one with soy, I believe) and the soy-free Vegenaise are pretty similar. They both separate after awhile, but they're both fine in dishes which can be stirred. So . . . chip dip = fine, because I just restir before spooning some out. And I mix it with buttermilk powder and sour cream, which helps thicken it up a bit.
I buy the Vegenaise via co-op (a friend splits a case with me), but if we run out, I buy the mindful mayo from one of our independent natural food stores or WFM.

I wonder if cornstarch could also thicken it. I don't have to worry about corn or wheat (I imagine it's likely cross-contaminated) allergies. I've kind of toyed with the idea of trying a bit of softened cream cheese mixed with sour cream to create a mayonnaise I can use as a binder for crab cakes.
The big problem is that it just doesn't stay in the emulsion. I don't know that much can help with that. It stays until you open the lid, then it slowly starts separating.
Does anyone know if there's a sub made without mustard?
joanna, I will look next time I'm in our local chain that carries several of these and in multiple varieties.
How concerned are you with cross-contamination?
CM2, if I get a brand without overt mustard, I can look into the CC issue. Thanks for checking. I haven't seen one, but would love it.
Well, I wish I had better news-- I checked today as I was picking up applesauce for DD's food challenge (another story) and I checked ALL of the Vegenaise varieites and the Earth Balance (Healthy-whatever-it-is) version--
sorry. They all had mustard flour/powder as an ingredient. :-[
