Here is a base for whatever flavored mayonnaise you decide to create. Super simple just be patient, if you add too much oil too quick, you will break the emlusion and never get it back. Enjoy
Homemade Mayo
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2 eggs yolks
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup oil (macadamia oil works best)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place egg yolks, mustard powder, and lemon juice in blender or food processor and start running on low.
- Once mixed slowly start dripping your oil in
- I drip 1 tbsp of oil at a time and let it mix for at least a minute
- As you continue to add your oil, it will emulsify but continue to add slowly so you don’t break it
- Once your mayonnaise is done, then you can hand mix in any herbs or spices you need like cumin, rosemary, thyme or anything you can come up with

I’m sitting here eating this for the first time and I have to say it’s pretty outstanding. Dill chicken “salad.” Word to anyone else trying this for the first time… I nearly threw this out after I made it last night. The freshly-made warm result was… gross. Today it’s bomb. Thanks George! This is about the 5th recipe I’ve done successfully from your site.
Awesome thank you so much
another idea for a healthy oil without too much taste is MCT oil, which is made from coconut oil. :)
also, i like to put all the ingredients in a small tall cup, and then use an immersion blender. no carefully dripping oil necessary. and it totally works! there are examples of people doing this on youtube.
How long does the Mayo last in the Fridge?
I’ve kept mine for up to a week
Never tried Macadamia nut oil! I have been using safflower oil but just found out it’s high in omega 6. It looks like macadamia is balanced w/ omega 3 & 6. :) Other than that this is how I make my mayo. I have also used apple cider vinegar instead of lemon when out of lemons.
This was great! Used it for a chicken-sweet potato salad…great results.
Awesome Sean :)
Lisa it will separate, you can use half coconut and half olive or whatever else you like
can I use coconut oil?
I would beware of Macadamia oil left in the pantry, probably rancid.
Interesting on the macadamia nut oil! I have a bottle in my pantry I use on salad dressings, but this is the first recipe for mayo that recommends it (that I've seen, at least). Am excited to try this recipe! Thanks!
I honestly don't know, I have never left it for more than 2 days without eating it
How long will this keep in the fridge?
