I made hummus recently and saved some chickpea cooking liquid (aka aquafaba) for some weird and fun vegan recipe experiments. One thing I had always wanted to try was to make vegan mayonnaise. Regular non-vegan mayo, if you didn’t know, is normally made with eggs. The vegan version uses aquafaba, which has some similar proteiny properties that can allow you to create similar structures (in this case, an emulsion).
