    🔪 How to Make Homemade Keto Mayo

    For making homemade low carb mayo, you'll start by adding fresh eggs along with all the other ingredients to the tall cup that comes with an immersion blender.

    With the regular blade attached, place the blender on the bottom and pulse until you see it start to thicken and become creamy.

    Then, with the blender still running, gently raise it up and down to thoroughly mix the mayo until well emulsified. Do not raise the stick until you see the egg becoming creamy or the mayo will not come together.

    After it has reached the consistency you prefer, taste it to see if you want more salt. If so, add a little in small increments until you get the desired amount that taste right to you.

    Tip: If you're at all concerned about using raw eggs, you can use pasteurized eggs.  While the risk of  illness from eating raw eggs is low, children, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone who has a weakened immune system should avoid eating raw eggs, so please use pasteurized instead.

    💡 Tips for Making Mayonnaise

    • This is definitely one recipe that I recommend watching my video (in the recipe card) before making it yourself. There is a very specific way that I do it and it works perfectly every time, but you have to follow the steps exactly.
    • It is crucial that you first start mixing the egg, which will be down at the bottom, before you lift up the stick. This helps to emulsify the mixture and by slowly lifting up the stick, that allows the oil to slowly get mixed into the egg, keeping it creamy and not soupy.
    • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor instead. Just be sure to SLOWLY stream the oil in as you are mixing. You cannot just throw everything in at once and blend, it will never come together and will stay in liquid form. Ask me how I know... yes, I've tried it!
    • I have some ideas below for different variations of mayonnaise. Just be sure to mix your mayonnaise first, then once it is nice and thick, you can add in the additions.

    ☑️ Storage Instructions

    Place in an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.

    🔄 Substitutions

    • You can also use avocado oil instead of light oil, but I would recommend a non-extra virgin avocado oil, otherwise your mayonnaise will turn a pale green color.
    • If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use all white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.

    🔄 Mayonnaise Variations

    This low carb mayonnaise recipe is so versatile. It's literally the perfect base for any flavor you like. The possibilities are endless. Here are some popular ingredients to consider adding to your next batch. Try them alone or in any combination you'd like.

    • Lemon or lime zest
    • Fresh herbs such as: Basil, Oregano, Dill, Tarragon, Parsley
    • Roasted garlic
    • Chipotle Chile in adobo
    • Capers
    • Sriracha sauce
    • Wasabi (a little goes a long way)
    • Sun-dried tomatoes
    • Curry powder

    🍴Keto Dips and Dressings with Mayonnaise

    • This classic Caesar Salad Dressing has amazing flavor and texture.
    • Creamy Dill Sauce that is best served over salmon!
    • Blue Cheese Dressing which is traditionally served over a Wedge Salad or on the side of buffalo chicken wings.
    • Super popular Ranch Dressing & Dip that is great over salads like Cobb Salad.
    • One of my very favorites is Bang Bang Sauce that has so much flavor!
    • Zucchini Fries Dipping Sauce which can be used with avocado fries or eggplant fries too!
    • Bacon Ranch Dressing & Dip that is loaded with bacon goodness and is also used in my bacon ranch chicken casserole.
    • Creamy Garlic Italian Dressing which is one of the first dressings I ever made and is still one of my favorites!
    • Chipotle Ranch Dressing & Dip that has a spicy kick and is great over taco salads.
    • This Chick-Fil-A copycat Avocado Lime Cilantro Ranch Dressing is absolutely delicious and can also be used as a dipping sauce.

    🍴 Keto Recipes that Use Homemade Mayonnaise

    • Healthy low carb substitute for potato salad this Cauliflower "Potato" Salad really satisfies your cravings.
    • Super creamy Easy Coleslaw which is a lot like the popular coleslaw at KFC, but lower in carbs and sugar.
    • Classic Easy Broccoli Salad with Bacon is always a favorite at potlucks and BBQ's.
    • My most popular recipe Spinach Artichoke Casserole that takes the same flavors as the famous dip and turns it into an easy an delicious meal.
    • This flavorful spin on plain egg salad, Jalapeno Popper Egg Salad is loaded with great flavor.

    Are There Carbs in Mayonnaise?

    There's only a trace amount of carbs per serving in this homemade Keto mayo. Store bought brands usually have additional carbs from added sugar. Just another great reason to make your own!

    Is Mayo Keto Friendly?

    Absolutely! In fact, mayonnaise is the top condiment on Keto and low carb diets. And, because it has almost no carbs and is high in fat, it makes an excellent choice for many keto recipes.

    Which mayonnaise is keto compliant?

    The truth is, most mayonnaise is keto friendly, but more on the "dirty keto" side. This is due to the amount of preservatives that are added to extend the shelf life. Many are unrecognizable and hard to pronounce, which are typically the ones you'd want to avoid.

    Which mayonnaise has the least carbs?

    Because the main ingredients in mayonnaise are oil and egg, most store-bought brands are very low in carbs, as is this recipe.

    Can you freeze mayonnaise?

    It's definitely not recommended. Technically you can and while it will be safe to eat, it will likely separate and have a grainy unpleasant texture.

    RECIPE VIDEO

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup light olive oil, see notes
    • 1 whole egg, at room temperature (see notes)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
    • Pinch of salt, or to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Add all the ingredients to the tall cup that comes with an immersion blender, regular blade attached.  Place the blender on the bottom and pulse until you see it start to thicken ad get creamy.
    • Then, with the blender still running, gently raise it up and down to thoroughly mix the mayo until well emulsified. Taste to see if you want more salt, if so, add desired amount. Do not lift the stick until you first see the egg becoming creamy or the mayo will not come together.
    • Store in the fridge for about a week in an airtight jar.

    Recipe Notes

    I highly recommend watching the video first, as there is a specific way to make this mayo and if you follow my steps, it is pretty fail-proof.
    If you are at all concerned about using raw eggs, you can use pasteurized eggs.  While the risk of  illness from eating raw eggs is low, children, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone who has weak immune system should avoid eating raw eggs, so please use pasteurized instead.
    If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor instead.  Just be sure to slowly stream the oil in as you are mixing.
    You can also use avocado oil instead of light oil, but I would recommend a non-extra virgin avocado oil, otherwise your mayonnaise will turn a pale green color.  Doesn't look very appetizing, but will still taste good.
    If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use all white wine vinegar (or apple cider) vinegar instead.

      This recipe is amazing. So easy, and tastes great. It’s better then any store bought mayo I have ever tasted. I mixed it on high speed with my immersion mixer and it was done so fast. My husband doesn’t eat keto like I do, but he loves the taste of this homemade mayo. Thank you for posting this recipe.

          Typically, homemade mayo is watery because it hasn't been blended enough to enable the emulsifier to do its job. Maybe try blending it a little longer next time...that should help.

      Can you use an extra virgin light olive oil? I thought for health benefits the extra virgin was better for you

        I'm not sure how you made it, but you definitely have to stream the oil in very slowly if you don't use the immersion blender method like in my video.

          I am so sorry to hear that. Even though this is a really easy recipe, adding the oil too quickly or if you add too much oil, the mayo will break and won't thicken up. I hope you will try it again.

      Not sure what I did wrong because I tried this recipe 3 different ways and it just did not work so I'm going to do it by hand amdand add the oil very slowly. Also, how do you reckon this would be with normal mustard instead of Dijon?

        Hmm, I'm not sure either. It works perfectly for me every time and I always use the immersion blender just like in the video. Personally I prefer using dijon, but I've never tried with any other mustard.

          immersion blender is huge time saver, I don't tend to use ready made mustards and like that I can adjust strength of taste using pure mustard powder instead.

        Hi Patti,
        This recipes makes a little more than a cup of mayonnaise, so one serving is just over a tablespoon each. I hope that helps and thanks for your kind words!
