Easy Homemade Mayonnaise
Why make your own? In about two minutes, you’ll have creamy, real-deal, better-than-any-store-bought mayonnaise. So, why not!
Ingredients
- 1 whole raw egg* or ¼ cup (60 mL) aquafaba (the liquid drained from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1 cup (250 mL) vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
Directions
Place all the ingredients, in the order listed, into the blending container; let the oil float to the top. Blend on low, keeping the blender stationary until mayonnaise begins to form, about 30 seconds.
Slowly pull the blender up and side to side until the oil is emulsified and the mayonnaise is thick and smooth, about 30 seconds. Store refrigerated up to one week.

Cook's Tips:
*Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. To avoid the risk of salmonella, you can use ¼ cup (60 mL) of pasteurized whole eggs, pasteurized egg alternatives, or aquafaba (from regular or low-sodium chickpeas).
Any mildly-flavored oil can be used in this recipe, but avoid extra virgin olive oil as the flavor is too strong and may become bitter.
