We’ve turned to Thrive Market’s name brand for keto coffee creamer, better-for-you peanut butter, seaweed snacks, oat milk and more—and they’ve never let us down. So, we’re not surprised that its non-GMO, dairy-free mayonnaise came out on top. Avocado oil (instead of traditional canola oil) makes for a fatty, creamy consistency that echoes that of regular mayo, while the organic chickpea broth and fava bean protein powder give the alternative uncanny body and buttery flavor. Distilled vinegar, salt and mustard flour zhuzh up its already savory taste with extra zing. It’s a bit thinner in appearance than regular mayo, but it’s unapologetically creamy in texture. And as far as condiment packaging goes, we love the squeeze-bag concept. Use it for potato salad, veggie sandwiches or spinach dip.

If silky-smooth texture is your top priority when it comes to mayo, this pick from Chosen Foods won’t disappoint. Made from avocado oil, aquafaba from organic chickpeas, fava bean protein and organic vinegar, sugar and mustard, its nutrition facts and ingredients are exactly the same as Thrive Market’s offering (although it’s ever so slightly bean-ier in flavor). It’s similarly smooth, spreadable and creamy, too; the main difference between the two is price and packaging (this one comes in a jar instead of a pouch). Nevertheless, if you’re willing to splurge for a next-level sandwich topper or salad dressing base, it’ll be worth every penny.

PSA: We’re using this spread on every burger we ever make from here on out, veggie or not. Sir Kensington’s has four vegan mayo options, including tangy classic, creamy avocado oil and smoky chipotle, but our favorite of the lot is hands-down the special sauce variety. Made from a sunflower oil base and aquafaba, this soy-, starch- and egg-free condiment tastes like a more wholesome rendition of Big Mac sauce. Mixed into the luxurious, pastel-orange spread are tomato paste, minced pickles, lemon juice, mustard seed, dried garlic, smoked paprika, jalapeño peppers and dill weed, making for a unique texture and overall robust flavor that’s begging to be paired with veggie burgers, “chicken” patties or French fries.

Best vegan mayo for dips

Follow Your Heart’s vegan mayo starts with expeller-pressed canola oil, filtered water and brown rice syrup, a sweetener that’s used in place of traditional sugar. The ingredient list is far simpler than some others on our roster, since this one doesn’t include any gums for thickening and consistency. Apple cider vinegar, mustard flour and lemon juice offer necessary tang, while soy protein holds down the fort in the texture department. It looks pretty much identical to regular mayonnaise; others on this list are a bit too smooth or creamy in comparison, but this one is just thick enough to fool any condiment connoisseur. We’d have liked it to be a bit tangier in flavor, but we think its plainer profile makes it the perfect mix-in for dips, since it won’t dramatically affect the taste of the overall recipe.

Plant Perfect’s vegan mayo is closer to Follow Your Heart’s product than our other avocado- or aquafaba-based picks. Made mainly from organic canola oil, water, organic distilled white vinegar and organic soy powder, it’s satisfyingly vinegary in flavor (TBH, we think it’s just the match for tuna, although that’s off the table if you’re vegan). Due to its clumpier appearance and smooth mouthfeel, this spread is ideal for sandwiches, since it’ll be slathered across bread to disguise its looks. Just like that, we’re craving a BLT. Find it at your local Whole Foods Market if you want to shop in person instead of online.

Hellmann’s is the gold standard for a reason. The brand has been slinging their signature condiment for more than 115 years, so they know a thing or two about making stellar mayonnaise. Their vegan offering is made from sunflower oil, water, modified food starch (derived from potato and corn) and distilled vinegar. Its texture is notably smoother than the O.G., which is on the gloppy side, but its lip-smacking flavor remains pretty on par. Better yet, it’s a total steal at 18 cents an ounce, perfect for beginners who are skeptical of vegan mayo. (BTW, if you see this pick in eerily similar packaging labeled Best Foods instead of Hellmann’s, they’re the same—the brand will depend on which side of the U.S. you live on.)
