I told you I’d be back for another giveaway…
I was really excited when the folks at Nasoya asked if I would be interested in trying out the newly re-vamped Nayonaise mayos. One is a sandwich spread that is similar in taste to Miracle Whip, and the other is a regular mayo-type spread. It only has 3.5 grams of fat per tablespoon, which is nice, because it takes the guilt factor out of the equation. The mayos worked really well in an eggless tofu olive salad that I made (from the excellent cookbook Cookin’ Crunk), a spicy sesame tofu salad to put in sushi, and a regular eggless egg salad. I can see myself using Nayonaise regularly. They are also made with expeller-pressed oil, are non-GMO, gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free and cholesterol-free too. The texture is thick, but not creamy in a traditional oily mayo kind of way. It’s more of a creamy gel. I gave it a good stir, and it worked great in the recipes I tried. I think the more vegan mayo choices we have at the store, the better. Especially with summer salad season coming up.
And guess what else? Nasoya has given me three free coupons to give away to my readers! All you have to do is leave a comment (with an email address so I can reach you should you win). I’d also love to hear what recipe you would use the mayo in. The contest will be open until this Thursday (April 25th), for those in the U.S. Good luck!
Disclosure: Nasoya has provided me with both products to sample and review, plus the coupons for giveaway. All opinions are my own.

Courtney
Ooh, I’d love to try that out in your garlic dill potato salad recipe from the Vegan Diner cookbook! Or make some special sauce!
Julie Hasson
That sounds delish Courtney!
Kristina
honestly? I would make a sandwich first. A crisp toasted bread piled high with veggies and shiitake bacon. ooh, that sounds good right now…
and as of this morning I have a new potato salad in my head, so I’d definitely try it with that!
Julie Hasson
Yum Kristina! What time is dinner?
Mac McCloskey
Hmmm…sounds like it’s worth a try. In my previous life (omnivore) I never really cared for mayo anyway, so maybe this new and different texture will be a nice addition to our repertoire of pant-strong ingredients. And…you’re cute!
Julie Hasson
I’m with you Mac, although I do like a little mayo in some recipes. It seems to add just the right amount of creaminess to vegan recipes.
kittee
Neat! I’d probably try them out with a tempeh salad!

Julie Hasson

Julie Hasson
Sounds great Lucy
Tracy
Always on the lookout for a good mayo-ish spread! As for me, I’d love to give it a go with macaroni salad. Or to make some Thousand Island for a tempeh reuben.
Julie Hasson
I need to try this in a macaroni salad. Yum!
Nikki
I would love to try it with a vegan blt! I’ve been seeing alot of coconut bacon pics lately and would love to try it with the whipped mayo!
Julie Hasson
Oh yeah!
John
I would probably try it with potato salad!
Debra
I would love to try this in a sandwich! The whipped sounds good!

I used to love Miracle Whip. chickpea “tuna” would be good. Also fresh tomato sandwich, got some heirloom seedlings started.
Julie Hasson
Sounds delish Sarah!
Lizzie
A friend of mine created a Tofuna Salad recipe that I pretty much live off of all Summer long – would love to try this in that recipe. I haven’t had Nayonaise in years, certainly not since the “re-vamp.” Excited to try it!
Julie Hasson
Will you share the recipe Lizzie?
Heather
Well, I just received my first order of Soy Curls (I know – it took me a very long time to try these!) so I would need to make something with them… Some kind of vegan herb salad sandwich…
Julie Hasson
Sounds great Heather. So what do you think of the Soy Curls?
Chi Hua
Potato salad with peas and carrots.
Julie Hasson
Yum!
Cece
Oooh I am obsessed with chickpea “tuna” salad and I would make it immediately! But for the SO it would be macaroni salad 🙂 And I wholeheartedly agree with you, the more choices on the shelves the better!
Julie Hasson
Sounds good Cece
Jessica
Oh yum! I would love to try this in a potato salad to be enjoyed at a picnic. This definitely makes me think of summer!
Julie Hasson
It does feel like perfect picnic food
