Homemade Mayonnaise
Perfect for potato salad, on your sandwich, or in deviled eggs.

Homemade Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks + 1 whole egg room temperature
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp GF mustard Dijon or regular
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch white pepper
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups vegetable oil or pure olive oil*
Instructions
- In a blender, add everything but the oil and mix well for about 30 seconds. With the blender running continuously, pour in the oil VERY slowly at first - almost by drops, for the first 4 tablespoons of oil or so. Stop pouring and continue blending for 30 seconds, then start to add more oil in a THIN stream. Every minute or so stop pouring to ensure the oil is being incorporated.
- Continue this way until you reach the desired thickness - this whole process takes around 10 minutes (you may not need to use all the remaining oil).
- Stop the blender, and adjust the seasonings and, if the mayonnaise is very thick, process in drops of lemon juice or warm water to thin.
- Keep the mayo in a sealed container, and it will keep for a week in the fridge.
Notes
Use this fresh mayonnaise in our Deviled Eggs
I always use light extra virgin olive oil when i make my mayo and don’t have a problem with it separating. If you do have a problem with separation you may have added the oil too fast. You need to slowly drizzle it in as you you blend that is really the key to getting a good mayo.
I use the following amounts: 2 eggs, 1/4 cup lemon juice, ~2 tsp mustard, ~1 tsp salt, ~1 tsp garlic powder, and 2 cups olive oil. I buy the little 16 oz bottle so I can just use the entire bottle.
Thanks for your recipe variation! Nothing compares to fresh made mayo, yum!
I’m using plain non-fat Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It tastes a little more tangy than mayo. I’ve used it in potato salad, tuna salad and deviled eggs. My husband didn’t even know I’d substituted the mayo 🙂 they all tasted great. The only time I can really tell I’m not using mayo is on a sandwich, but I’ve come to really enjoy the tangy flavor on my sandwiches 🙂
