Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe (Zero Carb Keto Mayo)

This homemade mayonnaise recipe uses egg yolks, neutral oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt to create a thick, creamy mayo without added carbs. The emulsification process by hand whisking produces a smooth texture with light color and balanced tang from vinegar and lemon juice.

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolk
  • 1 cup neutral cooking oil light or neutral-flavored works best, generic cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper optional, dash

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add eggs, mustard, salt and pepper (if using) to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Begin whisking above ingredients together by hand. While you whisk, slowly drizzle in the oil. As you continue to whisk, the oil will cause the mixture to thicken.
  3. Continue whisking until you've incorporated about half of the oil.
  4. Pause to add the lemon juice and vinegar to bowl. Whisk again to mix them in.
  5. Begin pouring the rest of the oil into the bowl and continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated into the mayonnaise. It should be thick and creamy, and light in color.
  6. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before use. Keep refrigerated between uses.

Notes

  • Refrigerate homemade mayonnaise for at least one hour to enhance thickening and flavor development.
  • Keep the mayonnaise refrigerated and use within a reasonable time to ensure freshness and safety.
  • Black pepper is optional and can be added according to personal taste preferences.
