Two percent of children are allergic to eggs and the symptoms range from a mild rash to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that impairs breathing and can send the body into shock. The best solution to manage an eggs allergy is to avoid all eggs containing products in food and some flu vaccination. Many recipes can be modified to avoid the need for eggs like this egg-free mayonnaise. Many of us have tried many recipes, but this recipe below is unique and new because it tastes like the traditional mayo by using the Aquafaba, which is the liquid in a chickpea can, as a replacement for eggs. I like this method because I don’t like the idea of eating raw eggs, especially after the bird flu virus appeared, but I would be cautious of what preservatives Aquafaba contains.
How to Make Mayonnaise without Eggs
- 3 tablespoons aquafaba
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup vegetable/ soybean oil(or any neutral tasting oil)
