Absolutely fantastic recipe!! I used 1 egg vs 2 yolks & added the avocado oil (1/4th c) last. I will never buy mayo again!
When to add coco / olive oil? Together, one after the other?
This came out as a liquid. What did I miss?
Mine too!
Is it safe to eat raw egg? I think I have an allergy to canola oil and most mayonnaise has canola oil so would consider making homemade.
Most mayo has soy oil now
Why does my mayo taste bitter after I make this?
Olive oil is naturally bitter. Make it with the blender with the coconut or veggie oil. After just whisk in the olive oil to
Prevent the bitter taste.
It’s not AIP-friendly because it has eggs and black pepper. 😞
Is the mustard dry or prepared (like we use on hot dogs)?
Prepared mustard, preferable Dijon.
Thank you Dr. Axe.
Love the receipe.. Allergic to milk and Gluten and missed the mayonnaise, now I can treat my self again.
How long dose the mayo last in fridge?
Try to use within 2 weeks, because of the egg yolk ingredients.
it seems great but the olive oil today is cut with Canola oil and they are not required to put it on the label so there is only a very few oils that our body can use for energy. this information comes out of the smartest man on earth about oils and check his seminar out to see the greatest 4 oils that we can benefit from the smart oil man, Ivor Cummins! He teaches us to eat the best and oops there goes our belly sticking out from consuming poly unsaturated oils that stay stuck in our bodies gut for 11 months as they are very hard to clean out! /that’s what’s giving us all a big overstuffed belly! Do the research from this great man and his fascinating knowledge. Blessings from BREATHE HEALTH. Juliet gauthier 647-518-7644. Canada
I read that you can ferment mayo pretty simply to preserve it up to 1-2 months in the fridge. Just strain whatever type of yogurt you like through cheesecloth. The liquid that strains out is the whey. Use 1oz (2T) in this recipe and leave at room temp for 8 hours before refrigerating, and voilà!
Delicious! Thank you so much!
Because a lot of olive oil is fraudulent, would it not safer to just use coconut oil?
It looks eady to make, will try it.
I love this mayonnaise. I wouldn’t eat mayo before, but now I’m a fan.
My homemade mayo usually only stays fresh about 1 week but I have found that adding sauerkraut juice (this must be a live product like Bubbies) and leaving out on the counter for 5-8 hours helps it last 6-8 weeks. Sometimes longer.
p.s. I have started using all avocado oil when possible – love, love, love it!
I made it exactly to the recipe. It doesn’t really work as a mayonnaise. It completely hardens in the fridge and is not spreadable or mixable at all. Any advice
While attempting to make this mayonnaise, I tried using my Vitamix, but the blades wouldn’t reach the egg yokes, so I transferred the eggs to my KitchenAid. The blades still wouldn’t reach. By then, with transferring the yokes a couple times, I felt like I had lost some of the egg yoke. So, I poured those yokes into a container and started again. When I separated the next batch of yokes, I put the whites into the container with the other first batch of yokes and set that aside. I ended up using my emulsifier to make the mayonnaise, and this time, it worked fine. It was a little thicker than I had hoped, (I probably could have added more lemon juice or oil to thin it out) but it tasted good. My concern after reading the other posts is that the mayonnaise won’t be spreadable, BUT, I can add it to recipes that require mayonnaise. What did I do with the extra yokes, and all the egg whites? Well, I mixed that all up, poured it in pan and made a delicious omelet. No waste! When ever I make mayonnaise again, I’ll definitely save the whites and cook them up. Anyone else have trouble with the blender situation?
Use an immersion blender and a glass jar with an opening big enough for it. Start with the blender over the egg yolks.
Doesit harden in the frig because of the coconut oil?
Yes, I use a combo of olive oil and coconut oil and it does tend to harden in the fridge. I am trying to find a healthy and tasty alternative for my husband, who has Chrohn’s. He likes the flavor of this but we are frustrated with the consistency because it won’t spread straight out of the refrigerator. Thought about subbing out MCT oil for the coconut oil. Does anyone know if that works? These mayonnaise experiments are getting expensive for me!
I’ve used in this recipe MCT oil instead of olive oil, as the extra virgin variety has a too strong taste for me. And, sometimes I use a whole egg instead of 2 egg yolks because I just do not want to waste food. If using MCT oil only, it will not harden in the fridge. (Drizzle oil until the texture looks right.) Try it on oil coated oven roasted celeriac chips (French fries?)with Mediterranean herbs!
What about Avacado soil instead ?
There’s a coconut oil and MCT oil mayonnaise for sale on Amazon. I’ve never tried it but your idea would probably work.
Maybe get the coconut oil that stays liquid?
How many days it stay fresh in the refrigirator?
would like to know this also.
