Beetroot mayonnaise: delicious, nutrient-dense and diet-friendly

mayonnaise is a versatile and tasty condiment that can be used in many recipes, both savory and sweet. The traditional version, based on eggs, butter and lemon, is very caloric and may not be suitable for everyone. For this reason, in recent years there has been a widespread tendency to prepare alternative mayonnaises, based on vegetable ingredients.

One of the most interesting variations is beetroot mayonnaise. This sauce has a bright color and a sweet, aromatic flavor, which makes it perfect for accompanying meat, fish, vegetable and cheese dishes.

Ingredients

• 200 g of pre-cooked red beets
• 100 ml of soy milk
• 100 ml of sunflower seed oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• A pinch of salt

Preparation

1. Cut the beets into cubes and collect them in a tall glass.
2. Add the soy milk and salt and blend until smooth.
3. Pour in the sunflower seed oil slowly, continuing to blend at low speed.
4. When the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, add the lemon juice and blend for another minute.
5. Transfer the mayonnaise into a jar and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Advice

• For a thicker mayonnaise, increase the amount of beets or use an oil with a higher smoke point.
• If you want to get a tastier mayonnaise, add a spoonful of mustard or a pinch of black pepper.
• Beetroot mayonnaise will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Variants

• For a creamier mayonnaise, you can replace the soy milk with vegetable cream.
• For a spicier mayonnaise, add chopped red chili pepper.
• For a more aromatic mayonnaise, add a spoonful of chopped chives.

beetroot mayonnaise is a versatile and tasty sauce that can be used in many recipes. It is a valid alternative to traditional mayonnaise, lighter and healthier.
