Mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that can be used in sandwiches, salads, dips and sauces. While store-bought mayonnaise is convenient, it often contains preservatives and additives that can take away from its taste and nutritional value. Making your own homemade mayonnaise recipe is an easy way to ensure you are using fresh ingredients without any added chemicals. In this post, we’ll take a look at how to make a simple yet delicious homemade mayonnaise recipe that you can customize to suit your taste preferences.

Avocado oil mayonnaise is a healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise made with vegetable oils. Avocado oil is rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins that are beneficial for your health. If you are on a keto paleo diet this avocado mayo will be a perfect option for you.

Benefits of Avocado Oil Mayonnaise

  1. Rich in healthy fats: Avocado oil contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which are good for heart health and can help lower cholesterol levels.
  2. Antioxidant-rich: Avocado oil is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E, which helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  3. Vitamin-rich: Avocado oil also contains other nutrients like vitamin K, potassium, and fiber that promote overall health.
  4. Lowers inflammation: The healthy fats found in avocado oil have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation throughout the body.
  5. Gluten-free: Many store bought mayonnaise brands contain gluten-based ingredients like wheat flour or maltodextrin which can be harmful to people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. But avocado oil mayonnaise is naturally gluten-free.
  6. Delicious taste: Not only is avocado oil mayonnaise healthier than traditional mayo, but it also has a delicious creamy texture and flavor that adds a unique twist to any dish!

Overall, avocado oil mayonnaise provides numerous health benefits while still offering the same great taste as regular mayo! It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their diet without sacrificing flavor or convenience!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • Avocado oil – I prefer the taste and health benefits of avocado oil but you can also substitute with extra virgin olive oil, canola, or even vegetable. Note that changing the oil or any other ingredient may alter the taste.
  • Egg – The egg needs to be a room temperature egg and preferably a farm fresh egg.
  • Mustard – I use regular yellow mustard but you can also use dijon mustard.
  • Lemon juice – It does not have to be fresh squeezed lemon juice but It does need to be 100% lemon juice.
  • Salt – Use whatever salt you prefer. I like to use Redmond Real Salt.

How To Make Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Recipe

In your mason jar add your ingredients starting with the egg. (Use the entire egg not just the egg yolks.) Next add all other ingredients. Making sure that the egg is the first thing added to the jar is key.

Using the immersion blender put the blender head all the way at the bottom of the jar. Mix on high without moving the blender until the egg turns white.

As you hold the immersion blender on the bottom of the jar blending just the egg, it will begin to turn white.

Once the egg is white slowly start incorporating all the other ingredients. Continue mixing until it is thoroughly combined.

  1. As a sandwich spread: Use avocado oil mayo as a spread for your favorite sandwiches, burgers, and wraps. It adds creaminess and flavor without the unhealthy saturated fats found in regular mayo.
  2. In dips and dressings: Mix avocado oil mayo with herbs, spices, lemon juice, or vinegar to create delicious dips and dressings for salads or veggies.
  3. For baking: You can use avocado oil mayo as an egg substitute in your baked goods recipes like cakes, muffins, and brownies.
  4. To make tuna salad: Instead of using regular mayo when making tuna salad, try using avocado oil mayo instead! It will add a creamy texture while also boosting the nutritional value of your meal.
  5. As a marinade: Add some spices and herbs to your avocado oil mayonnaise mixture to create an easy marinade for meats like chicken or fish before grilling or roasting them.
  6. For homemade sauces: Make homemade sauces like aioli by mixing garlic with avocado oil mayonnaise – it’s perfect for dipping fries or vegetables into!

How to Store Mayonnaise With Avocado Oil

Homemade mayo with avocado oil should be refrigerated as soon as possible after making it. Bacteria can grow quickly at room temperature, so don’t leave your mayo out for too long. Store your homemade mayo in an airtight container such as a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. This will help keep air out and prevent the mayo from spoiling. Make sure to label your container with the date you made the homemade mayo so you know how long it has been stored. Homemade mayo will only last about 10 – 14 days.
