Just made another jar of mayo. I never want to go back to store bought mayo, mine tastes so much better and fresher. Have you ever tried spreading mayo on fresh corn on the cob? If not, you are missing out. I use mayo in so many different ways. I use avocado oil, so no yucky oils or additives. I've posted my recipe before, but in case you need it: #foodstr #diy
- 1 egg
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- salt to taste ( i use about half a tsp)
Crack the egg into a jar, then add the rest of ingredients. Use immersion blender to mix it all up. Thats it. I just leave the mayo and use it out of that same jar. You can double the recipe, and it will just about fill a quart jar.

I'm going to have to try this, I've always been too chicken to try making it.
I love making "fried" chicken, smear some mayo on chicken and press panko bread crumbs on and bake it. The potato chip chicken that was all the rage a few years back was mayo with crushed potato chips.
My daughter just made her first Aioli the other day, very similar to this. Sheβs 10 and LOVES to be in the kitchen. She used the blender, but it was perfect!
Iβll never touch that soy/canola/seed oil shit they call food, which is sadly on every sandwich in America π.
Good job! Thanks for sharing. π§‘ππΌ
Will never eat store bought mayo again. Homemade only.
Try it, its not hard. Sometimes it takes longer to mix, but just keep mixing and it will come together.
Sounds delicious thanks for sharing
@TheRupertDamnit is this a thing you have done? I would do this
I love that it's just one egg. I'm really the only one that uses it.
I haven't since like high school. I should though.
Yeah, and most of the time i double our recipe, cause we eat more mayo than most people.
I'm thinking I may be able to convince my guys to eat my favorite pasta salad if I'm making the mayo that goes in to it π€
How long does it last for in the fridge?
you can just make mayo

Good ideaπ
I would if mayo was real.
Mine has never gone bad, but we eat quite a bit of it weekly. But the consistency can change if its been more than a week or so. Flavor wont be affected though. You could start with the basic recipe to test it.
if youβre having trouble getting it emulsify, put in all the ingredients except the oil, put in the immersion blender, then put the oil on top, and slowly raise the blender while its running, letting the oil in more slowly.
Thank you so muchπ
So good. We must try this
GOING TO TRY THIS. HAVE FUMBLED THE PROCESS MORE THAN ONCE. THX FOR SHARING
I did majo with my mom when I was a kid. It was too expensive to buy for us at that time.
This is one of the first recipes I learned from my mother. 50 years ago. I use homemade wine vinegar and add black pepper.
Store mayo is usually not eatable.
Beware, avoid to bring air trapped in the blender, you might miss the emulsion.
We keep ours for weeks.
Would it work with Bacon fat?
Will be trying, ty π€
Unlikely. Maybe if you cook the pasta, then while it's hot, add cheese and tomato sauce instead of the mayo.
I remember my grandparents never, ever, used bought mayo. They always made it on demand, and it was awesome.
Try adding sugar and white pepper and taste the result
How can anyone not love mayo!?
We'll call it a sauce.
Never have liked it. The taste is meh and it makes everything slimy. I can tolerate the dipping sauce kind of stuff nowadays, though.
The mayonnaise looks delicious, which reminds me of the honey mayonnaise I ate on this commercial yacht. Its taste was so delicious that I can't forget it, and what I can't forget is that yacht experience, which was the happiest time of my life. The link to that yacht experience is here.

fair enoughπ
Self made mayo is great, but my corn on the cob only touches grass fed butter and celtic salt.
Since I'm white, I am legally required to eat mayonnaise. But...
Store bought mayonnaise has become so expensive.
Maybe I'll make it from scratch using this recipe!
