How to Make Homemade Real Food Mayo

Everyone needs a good recipe in their repertoire that is easy to make and will impress those it’s served to. Homemade mayo in my opinion is one of those. It’s so incredibly easy to make that there is almost no excuse not to make it.

Just think no last-minute runs to the store for a jar of mayoness to spread on your sandwiches or mix up for egg salad. You can have a simple and decadent jar of goodness ready in less than 10 minutes!

Growing up I HATED mayo. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot stick. I realized my problem was that I didn’t like the poor quality ingredients that were used. The first time I made my first batch about 4 years ago I discovered how amazing it could be. I can practically eat this stuff off of a spoon now! It’s that.incredibly.tasty. Plus it is extremely good for you which is a plus since most brands you find in the store should be treated like four-letter words. There is nothing in but nourishing oils, organic egg yolks, lemon juice and real salt in this homemade version. If you want a garlic aioli simply blend the mayo and a few cloves of garlic together.

Recipes using homemade mayo:

  • Soaked Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
  • Egg Salad (from my ebook Steeped)
  • Curry Chicken Salad (also from my book)
  • Pesto Chicken Sandwich
  • tandoori Chicken Sandwich

RealFoodMayo

Making homemade real food mayo is easy. It only has 4 ingredients or 5 if you decide to lacto-ferment it. The regular recipe will last for at least a week, though I have had it lat longer. If you add whey to your mayo to ferment it, it will last up to 2 months, not that I’ve ever been able to keep a jar around for that long, but you get the point!

    if you add the oil to fast it will not emulsify and get thick and creamy.

      Very true, I am sorry if I didn’t make that clear enough. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Please cite your statement that farm fresh or store organic eggs are safer.

    In fact, pasteurized eggs are safer.

    It’s not wise to provide misinformation.

      I’m sorry that you think that I am misinforming people. Most people that come to this site share a common perspective on food. It is not my intent to be misleading.

      Here is a good article on why I am fine with consuming raw eggs from a good source, healthy and safe. I hope that you find it helpful. Eggs raised on small organic farms or that you raised yourself are nothing like raw eggs that you find in most stores. I would never eat a factory farmed egg. There IS a greater risk doing that just like you said.

      I’m sorry, that’s frustrating. I’ve had soupy mayo in the past. You can make it into salad dressing or use it as a base for another sauce.

    mine was a soupy mess also. It never thickened at all. Blended it well over 10 minutes with an immersion blender. So long the mixture and blender were both quite warm. Put it in the fridge overnight and its a separated mess. I read some other recipes and it said to slowly drizzle the oil in. Was that what I was supposed to do? Anyway, 4 free range eggs and 2 cups of expensive olive oil wasted. I’m kinda bummed out 🙁

      I’m so sorry. I used to drizzle it in but found that if I was moving the blender up and down it wasn’t need. It’s not a complete waste, you can stir and spread on a sandwich, use it as a base for other sauces, make it into a salad dressing or even use it in mayo cake. I’m sorry to be so late in responding and hope that you found a way to still use it.

    Sounds delicious, but I thought it was unsafe to eat raw eggs.

      If you use fresh eggs raised on pasture, your own home raised eggs or organic eggs from the store it’s rarely an issue.

    Looks great! I also hated store bought mayonnaise and discovered how yummy it actually is when it’s homemade. Can’t wait to give this recipe a try!

          I’m sorry. That happened to me when I used a regular blender a few times. Have you tried putting it in the fridge? It may not get quite as thick as you would like but it should be thick enough to spread. Thin mayo is also great for making your own salad dressing. I’m surprised that it didn’t whip up for you.
