The recipe for homemade mayonnaise is easy and simple. With homemade mayonnaise, the taste is really different, because the fresh ingredients develop the right flavors. Homemade mayonnaise is a much better choice and is also healthier than store-bought.
To prepare homemade mayonnaise, you will only need five ingredients, and its preparation is quick and easy.
Ingredients for homemade mayonnaise:
- 1 large domestic egg - it should be at room temperature
- 1.25 cups of oil – use regular rather than olive oil, as it develops a bitter taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground mustard seeds - or a tablespoon of dijon or ordinary mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preparation of homemade mayonnaise
Place ¼ oil, egg, ground mustard and salt in a blender. Mix for 30 seconds or until the ingredients are combined and turn a nice yellow color. While mixing, lightly and slowly add the remaining oil. If you add the oil too quickly, it will not have the right consistency. Blend for about 90 seconds or until the mayonnaise is creamy. Then add the lemon juice and mix for another 5 seconds. The mayonnaise is now ready to use. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy and good running!
