Easy Homemade Mayo Recipe
Several years ago I worked in a fine dining restaurant and first tasted homemade mayo. At first I was hesitant to even try it since it didn't look like the mayo I bought in the store but the fact it didn't have the preservatives in it made me happy.
This easy homemade mayo recipe is more yellow in color than bought mayo and I admit it does taste different but it's good and you can add anything from garlic to wasabi to spice it up.
Once I adjusted my tastes I actually prefer it now.
This easy homemade mayo recipe is made without a food processor (I don't have one). I used my ninja blender

Ingredients
One egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (or you can use dry mustard)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mild-tasting olive oil

Method

Into the bowl of the blender I  place the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Measure the oil into a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Turn on the blender and. slowly pour about the oil into it.  I go slowly so I can allow the mayo to emulsify. The entire process should take about two to three minutes.

Taste mayo for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper or lemon juice to taste. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Some people like to add sugar but we don't.

  1. Thanks for the recipe for your homemade mayo. I will be making this and I like that it’s not that many ingredients. I just have a ninja too so this should be a breeze to whip up.
