Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

I love mayo.

When I was a kid, I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches. That’s how much I loved the stuff! (Don’t judge!)

I’m still a pretty big mayo fan, though I like to think my palate is a bit more sophisticated now (no more mayo sandwiches). However, I still use mayonnaise all the time!

Is Mayonnaise Keto-Friendly?

Yes!

Well to be specific, homemade mayonnaise (like this recipe) is keto-friendly. It’s made with simple, real food ingredients and contains no carbs.

Essentially, if you’re following a strict ketogenic diet, you can have as much of this mayo as you want! If you’re not on a low-carb or keto diet, this homemade mayonnaise is still a healthier alternative than most store-bought versions; however, you might want to stick to a serving size of 1-2 Tablespoons.

Health Benefits of Homemade Mayo

  • Homemade mayonnaise is made with simple, real ingredients. Egg yolks are rich in Omega 3s, protein, and B vitamins— all of which you need in your life!
  • This homemade mayonnaise recipe is keto-friendly. You can also incorporate into a paleo diet if you omit the Dijon mustard (unless you make your own or check the ingredients on the bottle to make sure there aren’t any non-paleo additives).
  • Making your own mayonnaise allows you to know exactly what goes into your food— no chemicals or additives.

Begin whisking ingredients in bowl. While you whisk, slowly drizzle in the oil. As you continue to whisk, the oil will cause the mixture to thicken.

Keep whisking until you’ve incorporated about half of the oil.

Pause whisking to add the lemon juice and vinegar. Whisk again to mix them in.

Begin pouring the rest of the oil into the bowl and continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated into the mayonnaise. It should be thick and creamy, and light in color.
