Easy Vegan Carrot Mayonnaise Recipe: Creamy, Egg-Free Homemade Dip

Creating your own dips and spreads at home is straightforward, quick, and delivers superior flavor and nutrition compared to store-bought options. As a seasoned home cook specializing in plant-based recipes, I recommend starting with this vibrant vegan carrot mayonnaise—it's a game-changer.

Homemade mayonnaise comes together in minutes, and first-timers are often amazed by the results. While supermarket mayo isn't inherently bad (though it often includes added sugar and salt), my version is fresher, creamier, and unbeatable. Pair it with crispy celeriac fries for an irresistible combo. Best of all, it's completely egg-free yet achieves that perfect, luxurious texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Dried oregano
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 75 ml rapeseed oil or olive oil

Instructions

  • Boil the carrots in water for about 15 minutes until soft.
  • Transfer to a tall mixing bowl, add garlic, lemon juice, and herbs. Purée with an immersion blender.
  • Gradually drizzle in the oil while blending until you reach your desired creamy texture. Refrigerate until serving.

Experiment with other veggies like parsnips, beetroot, or zucchini. Customize spices to your taste—try ground coriander, cumin, thyme, or rosemary for variety.
