Basic Whole30 Mayo – a staple for your fridge that is made with simple, real ingredients! Don’t be intimidated – this easy Whole30 Mayo recipe is simple and straightforward.
Homemade Mayo
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!).

I don’t have an immersion blender. Can I use a regular blender?
Debbie Thomas says
What can I add to “jazz it up” without the Dijon? A spice? ACV? Thank you.

I just made the Whole 30 Ramch dressing and instead of 1 cup of olive oil I used 3/4 cup and a fourth cup of Whole 30 mayo plus 1/4 teaspoon dill. Also used coconut cream. Best batch of ranch yet! Very creamy and thick!

Yummy!!!
