Most conventional mayonnaise is made with canola oil which is usually derived from GMO canola. Instead, this recipe uses organic sunflower oil which is non-GMO. Sunflower oil is naturally rich in Vitamin E, and apple cider vinegar has long been reputed as beneficial for digestion and overall health.
