Who likes savoring a bland sandwich? Not me! Of course, mayo to the rescue! Unfortunately, there is often much to be wanting when it comes to typical mayonnaise. The combination of oxidized cholesterol, vinegar, and refined Omega 6 oils can create mayhem on the immune system over time. Instead, why not try a healthier version made from whole plant foods, fresh from your kitchen? Raw Vegan Mayo to the rescue!
Add the savory back into your dishes with a simple recipe that can be whizzed up in literally minutes. Your taste buds will thank you later!
