If you like traditional mayo, Veganaise, if you like Miracle Whip, Nayonaise. Trader Joe's also has a house brand of soy mayo that is pretty good.

My favorite is Veganaise, I have to resist the urge to eat it with a spoon. ;)

I'm pretty biased towards homemade fake mayonnaise myself :)

For sure Veganaise, the one with the purple label, it's great!

Bleh - I never liked mayonnaise let alone a vegan version, so I'd recommend mustard as an alternative, if applicable. :)

Organic yellow mustard is good too - YUM!

Yeah? The purple one? I always buy the green one and love it so much I haven't tried the others! I will have to try purple as well. :shy:

I always buy the Veganaise with the blue label. I like Nayonaise too. Anything full of fat is fine by me.

Well I'm not vegan, I'm vegetarian but I try to eat the least milk I can or get local milk. Does Fat free mayo count as vegan since it has no milk in it? Call me stupid, but I know much more about vegetarianism than veganism. :dunce:

[eggplant]

Veganaise.

And no, fat free mayo is not vegan. Just check the list of ingredients. One of the main ingredients in mayo is eggs, not dairy.

me either, but i make a mean martha's "all-american potato salad (http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=recipe1944&search=true&resultNo=1)" (minus the egg) and want to sub vegan mayo to see how it works and/or if anyone (omni) can tell.

i like trader joe's organic mustard.

Vegenaise, hands down. You could use some drained, crumbled soft tofu (the water-packed kind) with a little turmeric (to make it yellow) to emulate eggs.

[skarrlett]

The store I go to finally sells Vegenaise. Mmmm. They had this other stuff, Nasoya but it was pretty nasty.

...it's glorious stuff, really :)

i haven't tried vegan mayo yet, i think i've tried everything besides tempeh, mayo and icecream (which is cool because it hasn't been two months yet since i went vegetarian), but i'm looking forward to it.

I'm one of the few that prefer nayonaise over veganaise. I never liked mayo that much before & always loved Miracle Whip, so that's probably why.

[yumhummus]

I thought Veganaise was too oil-ey in texture.
I preferred Nayonnaise, although it can be a bit chalky...

but NOW, my favorite all time vegan mayo is this stuff:

Spectrum Naturals Light Canola Mayo

i looked at my local wfm and they don't carry vegenaise. they do have this one, though, so maybe i'll give it a go. thanks for all the suggestions.

Mayola!. It's British. I haven't tried any of the American brands yet, but I was adviced against Nayonaisse from another customer at Wholefoods once..

I LOVE mayola, I tried the organic plamil one first and it was okay but it just lacked the mayo. taste I expected. But mayola is amazing it's hard to tell the difference between mayola and actual mayonnaise, I'm in love with it ( okay I'm getting a little obsessed here hehe) :) only problem is i've only ever seen it in Asda, which is the one supermarket i never really go to :(
But mayola gets my vote for best vegan mayo of all time :)

Did you look in the refrigerated area for Veganaise???
Its not kept on the shelf in the usual mayo area...

Oh I see. I never tried Trader Joe's organic mustard - I'll definitely look into it the next time I go though.

Let us know how the potato sald came out. I betcha they can't tell the difference - veggie versions usually taste better! :-)

Wildwood Garlic Aoli spread is my fave faux mayo. It can be pricey so if I'm making a salad or recipe that calls for much, I'll usually buy a canola version. On sandwiches though, I'm all about the aoli.
