Notes
STORAGE
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. It is not recommended to freeze mayonnaise as it is likely to split.
Homemade keto mayo is perfect for quick and easy dressings. Try it in our keto Caesar dressing in my Chicken Caesar Salad recipe. Use it in Ranch Dressing, Baked Salmon (with Mayo) and our super delish Keto Big Mac Sauce.
MAYONANISE INGREDIENTS
Oil choice is very important when making mayonnaise. You want to choose oils that are not strong in flavour.
Light tasting olive oil is not the same as virgin or extra virgin. It has more of a neutral flavour and won't dominate the mayonnaise. Extra virgin olive oil is not recommended.
If using avocado oil, try a lighter tasting avocado oil. Some avocado oils can turn the mayonnaise green. Try to avoid using all seed or vegetable oil.
Cooked vs uncooked egg in mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is traditionally made with raw eggs. I use fresh pasture-raised eggs when I make mayonnaise. If you have concerns about salmonella then please purchase pasteurised eggs or make cooked mayonnaise.
FIXING A BROKEN MAYONNAISE
I have 3 tips to fix mayonnaise that is broken or is too thin.
Whisk in two teaspoons of boiling water. This will help the yolks to re-emulsify with the oil, bringing the mayo back together. If it still is not thick add 1-2 more teaspoons to thicken.
OR
Whisk in 1 teaspoon of extra mustard to the broken mayonnaise until it emulsifies and thickens.
OR
Add another egg yolk and whisk (or process) until thick.
