Easy Homemade Keto Mayonnaise
Description
Easy Homemade Keto Mayonnaise combines olive oil and a whole egg at room temperature, with lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard for flavor. Using an immersion blender, the ingredients are emulsified starting from the bottom of the container to ensure the mixture thickens properly before blending fully. The process creates a thick, creamy mayonnaise with a balance of acidity and mild mustard notes.
The mayonnaise stores for about a week in an airtight jar in the refrigerator, providing a keto-friendly alternative to store-bought versions. Adjust salt to taste after blending.
For safety, pasteurized eggs can be used to reduce risk. Avocado oil is a substitute for olive oil but may change the color. If a blender is unavailable, a food processor may be used with careful oil addition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil see notes, light
- 1 egg at room temperature (see notes, whole
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Pinch salt or to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the tall cup that comes with an immersion blender, regular blade attached. Place the blender on the bottom and pulse until you see it start to thicken ad get creamy.
- Then, with the blender still running, gently raise it up and down to thoroughly mix the mayo until well emulsified. Taste to see if you want more salt, if so, add desired amount. Do not lift the stick until you first see the egg becoming creamy or the mayo will not come together.
- Store in the fridge for about a week in an airtight jar.
Notes
- Watch a video or carefully follow the blending steps to ensure successful emulsification.
- Use pasteurized eggs if concerned about raw egg safety, especially for vulnerable groups.
- A food processor can substitute an immersion blender; add oil slowly when mixing.
- Avocado oil can replace olive oil but may cause a greenish color in the mayo.
- If fresh lemon juice is unavailable, white wine or apple cider vinegar can be used instead.
