Homemade Mayo

With only a few ingredients and very little of your time you can create a great tasting homemade mayo.  I promise that after making your own, you will never want to buy it at the store again.  It’s that good.

One of the first things I set out to do when I started the Whole 30 in January was make my own mayo.  I’d made it a few times before in the past but it didn’t always turn out.  After testing many different recipes and discovering what works best I want to give you my NO FAIL recipe.

• 1 cup light olive oil
• 1 cold egg right out of the fridge
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions

1. Dump all you ingredients into a wide mouth mason jar or bowl.
2. Put your emersion blender at the bottom of the jar and blend. Slowly go up and down until emulsified.
3. Store in an airtight container in refridgerator for up to 4 weeks.

Demo Video of me making a batch of homemade mayo:

I strongly suggest you purchase an emersion blender if you don’t already have one.  This fairly cheap appliance will come in handy for mayo, dressings, soups, and more.  I have NEVER had a batch of homemade mayo fail since I stared using an emersion blender.  It can be done in a regular blender (with a blade on the bottom, low setting) or food processor but you must start with only 1/4 cup of olive oil and your egg.  Very SLOWLY pour in the remaining oil. Do not over blend.  Once emulsified stir in remaining ingredients.
