I don’t make recipes with macadamia nuts very often because they are rather expensive, but this raw mayo is totally worth it.
It’s light, fluffy, and subtly tangy. It’s also very rich. Mmm!
My husband is a purist type, and he doesn’t even like this raw mayonnaise recipe because it tastes “too much like mayo.” But I love it for that very same reason!
I definitely recommend this mayonnaise recipe. It’s a must-serve when making raw veggie burgers.
Let’s get started!
Raw mayonnaise recipe
From “Uncooking with Raw Rose”
- 3/4 cups water (or less)
- 1 1/2 cups of macadamia nuts (expensive but worth it)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon italian spices
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- dash of cayenne
Throw everything in the blender and just BLEND until smooth!
My blender is pretty crappy, and I was worried that it wouldn’t blend the macadamia nuts, but they blended well.
I’ll be serving this on veggie burgers, using it as a dip, a spread, etc.
My expectations of this recipe were pretty low because I have tried some recipes that have GREAT names but taste nothing like their names. For example, I recently made “seed cheese” and it tasted nothing like cheese. But behold the power of the raw mayo!
If you try this one, please let me know what you think. Let me know if I’ve over-hyped it.

Hi Laura-Jane,
I finally purchased a Vitamix a few weeks ago. I was so thrilled with my
“new green smoothies” ! So much better than the old blender.
Next on my list is dehydrater. Excalibur. Finger crossed. I
will then try your mayo on veggie burger.
Kindly,
Fran
Guess what!!???????? I bought a Vitamix too! I have to write a post about it. It’s divine. I can never go back, lol.
Fran,
Ooh, you have a Vitamix (lucky gal)! I think it’s kind of funny that you chose to get a better blender first, and I chose to get a dehydrator first.
I’ve got a date in my head that if I make it to six months raw I have totally earned a Vitamix. Most people would get one earlier, but I am very thrifty.
Do you have a timeline for getting your Excalibur, I wonder?
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story!

I don’t think you over-hyped this. It is terrific! I actually used 1 cup of macadamias and 1/2 cup of cashews and it worked great.
Thanks!
I am going to try this recipe today but my store does not carry any macadamias so I will try all cashews. Hope it turns out ok. I am a vegan (10 years) and just learning about raw dishes. I am going to try the lemon cookies and alfredo sauce too. Thanks for posting these recipes.
My guess is that it will work out fine with cashews. I frequently swap the two nuts in recipes depending on what I have on hand and price. Did you try the recipe with cashews, VeganShine? If so, what did you think?
i did it with mostly cashews. i agree, not overhyped at all!! it was awesome thanks!!!
Hello,
I have been thinking of buying BlendTech. What do you think of that choice?
Apparently the newer one with 4 inch blade is pretty good.
I’ve been searching for a good raw mayo recipe for ages. This one is PERFECT. I did add a couple of drops of stevia because I’m more of a Hellman’s girl (sweet) rather than Miracle Whip (too tangy for me). Anyway, this is going to be my staple mayo recipe for sure, thanks so much!
