Best 3 How To Make Healthy Mayonnaise Recipes
Homemade mayonnaise has a long history and is a versatile condiment. It is made by emulsifying egg yolks, oil, vinegar, and seasonings. It is a quick and easy recipe and can be made in a blender or food processor. It is also a healthier alternative to store-bought mayonnaise as it is made with fresh, wholesome ingredients and contains no preservatives or additives. This article provides recipes for two variations of homemade mayonnaise: Classic Mayonnaise and Avocado Mayonnaise. The Classic Mayonnaise recipe is a simple and basic recipe that can be used as a base for other mayonnaise-based sauces and dressings. The Avocado Mayonnaise recipe adds a creamy and rich flavor to the mayonnaise and is perfect for sandwiches, salads, and wraps. Both recipes are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Steps:
- Start by putting the eggs, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of oil in a blender and blend for 30-ish seconds.
- I use the puree setting. Next, with the blender still going, s-l-o-w-l-y pour the remaining oil into the blender.
- We're looking for a little stream of oil here. Avoiding pouring it all in at once... your mayo can turn out runny and clumpy.
- Add a little oil at a time and you'll see the mayo mixture 'fluff up' into a creamy consistency. I drizzle - wait 30 seconds - drizzle - wait - repeat until it thickens.
- Keep drizzling and blending until you've reached the desired consistency and you run out of oil.
- Once your oil is used up blend for another 10-20 seconds. After that, it's done.
- You can use it right away.
- Refrigerate your homemade mayonnaise immediately. Transfer the remaining mayo into an air-tight container... preferably glass.

HEALTHY HOMEMADE AVOCADO MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- Put your egg in the bottom of the jar.
- Add all of the other ingredients on top of the egg.
- With your immersion blender on the very bottom of the jar, start blending and let it sit on the bottom for a few seconds before you start raising it to the top.
- After about 10 seconds, slowly start raising the immersion blender to the top of the jar. If it seems like it's not completely mixed all the way you can pulse up and down a few times after you've gone to the top.
- Taste and adjust according to how you like it.
- Store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks. I highly recommend dating your storage container.

Steps:
- Place light olive oil, egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Use a hand-held immersion blender to blend mixture together, placing the blade directly on top of the egg yoke. Pull up the immersion blender slowly when fully emulsified, taking care not to over blend. Store in a tightly closed container; refrigerate until using.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Look for organic, non-GMO, and locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Use a food processor or blender: This will make the process of making mayonnaise much easier and quicker. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can whisk the ingredients together by hand, but it will take longer and require more effort.
- Start with a small amount of oil: Gradually add more oil until you reach the desired consistency. This will help prevent the mayonnaise from becoming too thick or oily.
- Add flavorings: Once you have the basic mayonnaise recipe down, you can experiment with different flavorings to create your own unique mayonnaise. Some popular flavorings include lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Store mayonnaise properly: Mayonnaise should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Making healthy mayonnaise at home is a great way to control the ingredients and ensure that you are using healthy fats. This recipe is a simple and easy way to make mayonnaise that is both delicious and nutritious.
