Basic Whole30 Mayo – the ultimate staple to have in your fridge!!

This Basic Whole30 Mayo is a must-have in your fridge, you guys!

I can honestly say that, like make homemade ranch, I will never go back to store-bought mayo.  Homemade is so much better.  The taste is cleaner and lighter, not so heavy.  And it quite literally takes about 5 minutes to make.  I now constantly have a jar of it in my fridge.  I typically use it for my go-to tuna salad or some deviled eggs, but there are SO many other uses for it.

So, if you haven’t ventured out and made your own mayo yet – do it!  I cannot recommend it enough. I just love know exactly what went into my mayo and that there is no added sugar.  Because…. why would there be sugar in my mayo???

What you will need:

• extra light olive oil
• egg
• white vinegar
• dijon mustard
• kosher salt

Whole30 Mayo FAQs:

• Egg: the egg does NOT need to be room temp.
• Olive Oil: It is important that the olive oil be extra light – it just emulsifies better.  Some people have reported good luck with avocado oil, but I have not tried it myself. I prefer the lighter taste of olive oil.
• Immersion Blender: This recipe has been made and tested with an immersion blender – I haven’t tried this in a regular blender.  I highly recommend an immersion blender – it works so well with emulsifying (and comes in handy for so many other recipes!).

Recipe Modifications:

You can always spice up your mayo if you want by adding some of the following:

• chipotle powder
• avocado
• curry powder
• siracha mayo
