One reason I have been so eager to have my own chickens is so that I could happily make my own (much healthier) version of mayonnaise. I know most people have this I love it, or I hate it mentality. Well, I love it. Especially if it is good for you and I don’t mean Hellman’s Light either. blech.
Making your own just takes a few seconds and it is worth it…
All you need is:
A blender
A fresh egg
1 cup of Light oil, in my case I used Safflower oil
1 Tbsp. Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
Begin with your blender and add your egg, 1/4 cup oil, salt, vinegar and lemon juice. Blend this for about 5 seconds.
Open your top and slowly pour in the remaining 3/4 cup oil. As soon as your last drop is in. You are done.
Easy peasy and oh so good. 🙂
I've tried making mayo before, but used olive oil. Perhaps that was the problem. I need a LIGHT oil! I may just try that again…
I haven't had any luck making mayo- it never emulsified. I'll try again with your recipe- I just (heart) real mayo! No Miracle Whip for me 😉
I had no ideal it was this simple. I'll have to try it out soon. Thanks!
Chas,
How long does it keep for??
About 2 weeks! 🙂
