Recipe variations

Sweeter Vegannaise, Salad-Dressing Style
Like really good Miracle Whip, if that makes sense: Add 1 tablespoon sugar along with the other ingredients.

Thicker Vegannaise
The consistency will be more like store-bought: Reduce the oil to 2 tablespoons and the vinegar to 1 tablespoon. You will have to stop and scrape the side down more frequently.
