Ingredients
  • For the base:
  • ½ c soymilk
  • 1¼ c sunflower seed oil (I imagine other oils would work as well)
  • 3 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Add ins:
  • 1½ tsp dried or fresh dill
  • ⅛ tsp paprika
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • Juice of 1 small lemon (or juice of ½ large lemon)
  • ¼ c chopped cucumber
  • ½ c quartered grape tomotoes
Instructions
  1. Add milk to a high powered blender like a Vitamix. Start on low speed. Let run with just the milk in it for 30 seconds or so.
  2. Very slowly start adding in the oil. This part is important because if you add to quickly it does not firm up like it should.
  3. Once all oil is in the blender, add the apple cider vinegar and salt.
  4. Turn blender speed up to a medium speed. Let blend for 1-2 minutes. At this point you should see your mixture thickening up and taking on a cream color.
  5. If your mixture is not thickening up, increase the speed and let it blend longer.
  6. Once mixture is relatively thick, like a thin mayonnaise, this part is complete.
  7. Fold in dill, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, cucumber, and tomato.
  8. You can serve immediately but it is much better if it can sit for at least 2 hours. Over night is best.
