Tofu mayonnaise is a healthy and vegan alternative to traditional mayonnaise, ideal for those looking for egg-free options. Its origin lies in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, where silken tofu is used as a base to emulate the creamy texture of conventional mayonnaise. In several Latin American countries, this preparation may simply be known as "vegan mayonnaise" or "soy mayonnaise." Although it is not a traditional dish from any specific region, it has gained popularity in modern diets thanks to its versatility and nutritional value.
Tofu mayonnaise is distinguished by its smooth texture and balanced flavor, making it an excellent substitute for dressings, sandwiches, and salads. In some regions, similar variants may include other ingredients to vary the flavor, but the base is always silken tofu, which provides that characteristic creaminess without the use of animal products.
