Homemade Garlic Mayonnaise
If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise, chances are you're going to love this simple Homemade Garlic Mayonnaise. It's healthy, delicious and you can use it as a dip or spread on just about anything.
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks room temperature
- 1 cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start off with room temperature eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Place the egg yolks in a blender or food processor and process for a few seconds allowing the yolks to mix.
- The first 30 seconds are crucial in making mayo, so pour a very thin and slow stream of oil into the blender while it's blending. It cannot take a lot of oil in the beginning. If you want to, you can always add a little bit of oil, stop pouring and allow it to blend and continue this process of adding a little bit of oil at a time.
- Slowly pour a thin stream of oil while the yolks are blending. This process should take at least 2 minutes, so be patient! If you add too much oil at a time, it will immediately thin it out. So make sure it's a very small amount of oil at a time.
- Once all the oil is in, add the rest of the ingredients. I like to grate the garlic so that it's fine and you don't get any big pieces of garlic.
- Blend until it's all mixed together.
- Let it refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
- Enjoy!
