My family is a house of mayo lovers. We use it for making many different things. I prefer mayo over miracle whip (even though it’s what I grew up on). I keep some bought from the store in the pantry for backup as well as make my own after learning how easy it is to make. Of all the Mayo’s out there I prefer the fresh taste of homemade any day because of the clean ingredients. Here’s a recipe I like to use:

Homemade Mayo

Ingredients:

1 Large whole Pasture-Raised egg ( or 2 Egg Yolks)
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. White Wine Vinegar (or Apple Cider Vinegar)
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
1 cup Avocado Oil (can use light Olive Oil or any neutral tasting oil)

Directions:
I use a quart-size wide mouth Mason jar to add everything in order of ingredients minus the oil. Then I take my handheld (Emersion) stick blender to blend everything in the jar. Last I slowly add the oil and pulse up and down to get it to a thicker consistency that resembles mayo. It lasts us a few weeks in the fridge if I even have it that long. LOL
