Easy Homemade Mayonnaise – Keto and Low Carb

SHARE

Make your own mayonnaise in under 2 minutes with just a few simple ingredients!

Making your own mayonnaise could not be easier and takes under 2 minutes to whip up!  I use light olive oil in this recipe, because of the mild flavor, but you can use the Keto friendly oil of your choice.

Once you see how easy this is, you will want to make your own from now on and skip the store-bought mayo that is loaded with preservatives!

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)

Preparation

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.

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.

Store in the fridge for about a week.

Notes:

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 hand mixer, food processor or a whisk 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 (or apple cider) vinegar instead.
