Notes
Vegan Mayo… say whaaaa-? Yep, that’s right – vegan mayo. I’m not sure where it has been my whole life but it’s amazing! I really love Follow Your Heart’sVegenaise. I think it has a nearly identical flavor and consistency as traditional egg-based mayo. You can find this at your local Target and many other stores as well!
