Healthy Living: Homemade Mayonnaise

For those of you who are looking for the perfect mayonnaise recipe, you have come to the right blog.

If you are on a special diet, like gluten-free or no sugar, this is the perfect recipe.

The flavor of this mayonnaise is mild and creamy but also has a touch of zing. Although not like store-bought, the taste is so much better, and once you try it, you will never go back. The color will also be different, showing a golden hue.

This recipe makes about 2 1/3 cups. Adjust the recipe accordingly if you want a little more or less.

To get started, you need:

Ingredients

3 farm-fresh eggs at room temperature. Store-bought will do if you don’t have farmfresh.

2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar.

3 Tablespoons lemon juice.

1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup coconut oil. 1/3 cup safflower oil or avocado oil. Directions

1. Using a food processor or blender, puree the eggs, vinegar, salt, and lemon juice until well blended.

2. Now add warm coconut oil in a saucepan just until melted; add safflower oil or avocado oil.

3. With the food processor or blender running, pour oils into the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream. Continue blending until the mixture emulsifiers (mixture will be thin but will set up when chilled.)

4. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

That’s it! Give it away as a gift or add it to your list of homemade foods.

Special note: You can also experiment by adding garlic or herbs like parsley, thyme, and oregano to give your mayonnaise a gourmet touch. The key is to make it your own ;).

Enjoy and remember to stay healthy and free.
