Some of the unhealthiest foods we consume are in the form of condiments. I make this wonderful homemade mayonnaise because I don’t want to eat what is available in the grocery store. Commercial mayonnaise is full of unhealthy oils and other ingredients that can contribute to inflammation and other health issues. This recipe is very easy to make and in our family we all love its delicious taste – so much better than store bought mayonnaise!
Homemade Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- Juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 1/2 to 1 tsp sea salt
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
- 2 tsp organic mustard
- 1 1/2 cups good quality light olive oil
Directions:
In a bullet type blender, mix the first 5 ingredients together.
While the blender is running, add the olive oil in a steady slow stream and continue to blend until ingredients thicken to a mayonnaise consistency.
You can add fresh garlic or other herbs for an interesting twist if you desire.
Transfer to a covered container.
Stores in the fridge for about a week – if it lasts that long!
