I love mayo, but dont like the oils in store bought mayo. So I make my own, which tastes much better. Its easy:

- 1 egg

- 1 cup avocado oil

- 1 tsp dijon mustard (or plain mustard)

- 1 tsp lemon juice

- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

- 1/4 tsp salt, to taste

In a quart canning jar, add egg first, then acv, lemon juice, mustard, salt. Pour oil on top. Mix with immersion blender until it thickens to your liking. I double this recipe, which fills the qt jar nicely. Using a qt jar, I can make and store in same jar. #grownostr #foodstr #mayo

How do you know if it is still ready for eating after a few days? Thanks in advance.

I keep mine in the fridge, and we go through it pretty quickly, but I know it would be good for at least a week or two, maybe more.

Wow, that's amazing, for sure i wanna give a try to this 1 one day, thank you for the recipe πŸ’œπŸ™

🎚️

I've tried almost this exact recipe and method. Every time, it never thickens until I add a second egg and then it's almost instant thick mayo.

It doesn't thicken if I start with two eggs, it's something about adding the second egg in. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You can thicken it by adding more oil and thin it with water πŸ«‚

Do you use room temp eggs or straight from the refrigerator?

Most of the time, straight from fridge.

Interesting, i heard it only works with room temp egg, last time i tried it was an epic fail.

When making mayo you want to whisk everything but the oil than add the oil drip for drip while mixing than slowly increase the amount this stops it from splitting

I should try this recipe. The ingredients look about the same as those in the mayo I buy. But that one is a bit pricy.

Yes, good avocado oil mayo has gotten very pricey.

So at first I tried the dripping method for the oil, but had not great results. I tried adding the oil last (all of it), and thats how I've made it since. Works each time.
