Homemade Mayo Made Simple
Fresh, homemade mayonnaise with simple ingredients and nothing artificial is much healthier than store bought…and it’s paleo-friendly. The key to perfect mayo is to make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing, and to add the oil slowly so it will emulsify. Easy peasy! Once you have the basic mayo down, you can experiment with different herbs and spices to make flavored mayonnaise and aioli. You can also add coconut milk or almond milk to the seasoned mayo to make salad dressings.
Enjoy!
