Why You’ll Love This Homemade Mayo

I thought making mayo at home wouldn’t taste as good as the store bought mayo. I have been eating store bought mayo all my life. But we have chickens now, so I was thinking…hmmm- I should try it out. Game. Changer. It’s rich, smooth, and completely customizable. It has so much more flavor than store bought! Plus, when you make homemade mayo with avocado oil, you get all those healthy fats without any junky additives.

Another big question I get: How long does homemade mayo last? Don’t worry, we’ll cover that too!

Ingredients for Homemade Mayonnaise

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to whip up this mayo:

• 2 eggs (room temp works best!)
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1¾ cup avocado oil (or try homemade mayo with olive oil, either oil works here.)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, but adds great flavor, I love garlic in everything.)

This makes about 2 cups of mayo- you can cut the recipe in half to make less, depends how much mayo you use throughout the week.

How to Make Homemade Mayo

1. In a wide mouth quart size mason jar or large mixing cup, combine eggs, lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and garlic powder.
2. Pour in the avocado oil, letting it settle on top of the other ingredients.
3. Using an immersion blender, place the blade at the bottom of the jar and blend without moving it for about 20 seconds. Then, slowly move the blender up and down until the mixture turns into thick, creamy mayo.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge.

How Long Does Homemade Mayonnaise Last?

Because this recipe uses fresh eggs, homemade mayonaise lasts about a week or two in the fridge. Be sure to store it in an airtight container and always use a clean spoon when scooping some out.
