I've been making homemade mayonnaise pretty regularly for quite a while now. It is the perfect condiment to use as a salad dressing, on top of eggs, as a sauce for meat, as a dip for raw veggies, or as a dressing for chicken salad.
It wasn't HARD to make, but required a bit of patience to let the oil drip slowly into the egg as you mixed with the immersion blender. I recently discovered a new recipe for homemade mayonnaise on The Healthy Foodie that has revolutionized my mayonnaise making! You don't have to wait for an egg to come to room temperature. You don't have to slowly drip the oil in. Update your recipe file now to include this SUPER easy mayonnaise recipe! The recipe calls for lemon/lime juice and light tasting olive oil, but I have subbed in equal amounts of apple cider vinegar (for the lemon/lime juice) and avocado oil (for the light olive oil) with equally delicious results. If you haven't tried making your own mayonnaise, I encourage you to go for it! You won't be disappointed!
Below are some mayonnaise flavors we regularly make and enjoy:
Roasted Red Pepper mayonnaise: after making the mayonnaise, add 4 jarred roasted red peppers, 2 cloves garlic and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Blend until peppers are completely blended into the mayonnaise.
Chipotle mayonnaise: after making the mayonnaise, add 4-5 adobo peppers (I use canned ones and rinse them before adding them to the mayonnaise). Blend until peppers are completely blended into mayonnaise
Garlic and rosemary mayonnaise: after making the mayonnaise, add 1 T chopped fresh rosemary, 3 cloves fresh garlic, and 1/4 tsp coarse salt. Blend until garlic is completely blended into mayonnaise.
Cilantro mayonnaise: Cilantro Mayonnaise
Curry mayonnaise: after making mayonnaise add (I use the curry mayonnaise in my Curry Chicken Salad) 3 T curry powder, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp garlic poweder, and 1/4 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend until all spices are mixed in.
