Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

This made-from-scratch recipe was made possible by Vitamix. Blender was provided for my use but opinions expressed are my own.

Have you ever read the ingredients on a jar of mayonnaise? Compared to some pre-packaged products, mayo actually doesn’t contain too many processed ingredients.

Except one red flag.

In almost every jar.

Calcium Disodium EDTA.

Calcium Disodium EDTA is a chemical salt that is said to possibly cause kidney and liver damage among other things. It is used to treat lead poisoning and affects the levels of natural metals in your body. It is made from ethylenediamine, formaldehyde, and sodium cyanide.

Sound like something you want in your food?

Me either.

Luckily it’s pretty easy to make your own mayonnaise and you can season it it your exact taste!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

  • Place the egg, vinegar, mustard and salt in the Vitamix
  • Select variable switch and 1 on the dial
  • Turn machine on and turn dial to variable 10
  • Flip switch to high
  • Blend for about 10 seconds then reduce speed to variable 6 or 8
  • Remove the plug in the lid and slowly pour the olive oil in the Vitamix until gone
  • Blend until thick (approx. 30 seconds)
  • Refrigerate
  • Mayo will last 2-4 weeks

Notes

If you do not have a Vitamix, you can create this recipe with your regular blender. Simply place all the ingredients except the olive oil in the blender and blend on high for 10 seconds. Reduce speed then slowly pour olive oil in through the top and blend until thick.

With or without a Vitamix, this recipe is easy to make and has a fresher flavor than any store bought mayo. I can’t wait to experiment with new flavors.

If you don’t have a Vitamix, any blender should do, you will just have to experiment for how long it takes to blend up!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! I have made it three times and its super easy to make and tastes very natural. I add a boiled habanero and it’s home made habanero mayo. Delicious!

    I made this today and surprised how nice the consistency was. I made it in my magic bullet. I was however, not overly impressed with the taste but I’m questioning if maybe the oil I used was not fresh enough and that would account for the slightly stale taste. I only used half a cup of oil and it was perfect so I am going to try this again with a fresh oil and hope that makes a difference. I see so much potential with this because you could season it and make so many variations. We often mix mayo and mustard before spreading it on sandwiches so I’m also going to substitute the dry mustard with some fresh mustard. Thanks so much. Even though my first attempt was a little off I know this could be a keeper and will try this again.

    This was totally awesome. I credit another site for suggesting a VERY SLOW POUR when adding the oil to the other ingredients. But your recipe was inexpensive AND excellent. Thank you so much!

    For starters I would make this mayo if I had my own vitamix! I am a single mother of two and thrive to give my children healthy, natural foods. Thanks for the recipe.

    Too much oil. Although it’s a warm day and my egg was a little smaller than normal. I suggest starting out with only half a cup and adding more as needed. Was unable to salvage it, too. 🙁 Just sent DS1 out to the chicken pen to get more eggs. Here’s hoping.

      I was concerned about the raw egg also. I does not appeal to me with the thought of a raw egg.
      Also, how can the mayo look white with the ingredients mentioned?

    I love making smoothies and I like to make my own breakfast drink with fresh veggies and fruits so this would be perfect for making them.

    I know I’d be making a lot of smoothies, but I’ve seen several good mayo recipes lately and that’s one of the first things I’d make.

    I will make healthy breakfast drinks, as well as hot and cold soups. Love to have soup any time of the day throughout the year. Especially made from scratch with no preservatives.

    The first thing I would make is ice cream since that is something I’ve never made before, but it would get most of its use making green smoothies, nut milks and sauces!

    I would love to try making my own mayo! That’s genius! I also would make stuff to turn into popsicles for the kiddo, and I have always wanted a vitamix so I can make my own ice-coffee-frappucinos since I have a little bit of an addiction to them and I think it would be amazing to be able to make my own!

    I would make smoothies, soup, ice cream, milkshakes and whatever else I could make in there! I have heard that it is an amazing product. A friend of mine told me to tell my husband that buying it would be an investment in health! 🙂

    I would make a strawberry/banana smoothie. I would also use it to mix my teenage son’s protein drinks.

    Oh, I have a list of things I would make, but right off hand I can think of smoothies where all the fruit is actually blended up and I don’t have chunks left over, lol!!

    Aioli would be the first thing I’d make! Then on to tomato sauce, butternut squash soup, crazy sorbet flavors and lots of green smoothies. Been eying the Vitamix for a while now #dreaming.
