This mayonnaise is light, creamy, and so delicious. It’s far better than any mayo you can buy online, or in any store, and it’s not made with any seed oils, preservatives, or added sugars. I use walnut oil in my mayonnaise, because I like the mildness of its flavor. I think you’re going to really enjoy it, and once you get the knack for it, it’s relatively simple to make.
Yield: 2 cups
Serving size: 1 tbsp.
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp. white vinegar
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. mustard powder
- 1 tsp. natural, non-GMO granulated erythritol
- 1 2/3 cup walnut oil
Directions:
- Place the egg and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor that has been fitted with a steel blade.
- Blend on the highest setting for 1 minute.
- With the processor still running, pour the lemon juice and vinegar in through the feed tube, and blend for 30 more seconds, then add the mustard, salt, and erythritol.
- While the processor is still blending, very slowly pour a thin stream of oil in through the feed tube. Continue pouring until all the oil is used. You can pour a little faster towards the very end.
- Scoop the mayo into a jar or a container with a lid. The mayonnaise will be a little thin at first, but will thicken up nicely in the refrigerator.
I was So excited to try this recipe when I saw it but I unfortunately cannot have walnut due to a medication interaction. What would you suggest as an alternative to the walnut oil? Thank you
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your question.
Other oils you could try are avocado, olive oil, or high oleic sunflower seed oil. Out of these, I think the sunflower seed oil would give you the best tasting mayonnaise. In general it is usually best to avoid seed oils, but high oleic oils have been shown to confer many health benefits.
That being said, while it is still a seed oil, high oleic sunflower seed oil might be a better choice than other more unhealthy oils, just make sure it says high oleic on the label.
I hope this helps. Thanks again. Have a great weekend!
