AUTHOR NOTES

While I chose to call it mayo, it’s not as oily or as rich as normal mayonnaise. It’s more like a creamy cashew cheese, perhaps. Besides eating it on these fries, I slathered it on some vegan pizza, turned it into a kid friendly ranch dip for cucumbers and carrot sticks, and put in on a sandwich as though it was just regular mayo.
