I also tried making Tofu Mayonaise this weekend and was very happy with it. It took less than 10 min, is very yummy and much less expensive than the vegan mayo that you buy.

Tofu Mayo
12.3 oz package of firm silken tofu
1/3 C water
1/3C raw cashews
2 TBL lemon juice
1TBL honey
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
Blend all ingreients together until smooth. TIP boil water and add to cashews before blending, they'll blend smoother and quicker. If mixture is too thick and add a tbls of water or soy milk.
