Homemade Mayonnaise is easy to make. It is a great alternative to store bought mayo, as you can know what ingredients are in it and best of all, you can make it and have it on hand on very short notice. It is also very economical then buying in the store. Here is the simple ingredients and directions to having your own homemade mayonnaise!
Homemade Mayonnaise
What You Need:
- 1 whole egg (I use fresh from the hen house)
- 1 cup Sunflower oil
- 1 T. apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 t. dry mustard powder
- salt to taste
- dash of cayenne pepper
- 2 T. honey
Use a food processor or blender for the best results. In the processor, mix together the egg, vinegar, and dry mustard. While machine is continuously running, add in the oil. Do this at a steady, fine stream, taking your time. This needs to be done at a steady, fine stream so that your mayo will thicken up. Take time in doing this and you will get favorable results.
When you have completed adding in all the oil, add in the remaining ingredients.
Will keep in frig for approximately one week.
Enjoy! Until next time, Julie

What about making a lighter, less caloric version of this? And if it needs to be used up in a week or so, what else can it be used for besides sandwiches?
So in this recipe it is acceptable to use a raw egg??
I have made something similar in the past, then I use this mayo to add to a cooked dressing I use for potato salad. that is one way to use it up quicker!!

Thanks for the nice recipe. I haven’t tried making homemade mayo yet. My dad prefers the mayo we buy at Trader Joe’s…but if this tastes just as good, I know he’d eat this instead
Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 
p.s. This is something I can also have on the GAPS diet…totally cool, because I like to eat mayo, too
With the addition of honey does this give it more of a miracle whip taste? I am so NOT a fan of miracle whip… I’m looking for the closest thing I can find to Best Foods mayo. So far the homemade mayos I have tried haven’t come close :-/
Thanks & I will be looking for the dressing recipe!
I’m thinking you could use olive oil in place of the sunflower oil
also have you ever made it without the egg?? have a blessed day ~eva
