The Keto Lady Mayonnaise Recipe

#KetoMayo #LowCarbCondiment #HomemadeMayo

Ingredients:

• 1 egg, at room temperature

• 1 cup light olive oil (not extra virgin) or avocado oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar

• 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or regular)

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Combine Egg and Acid: In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, lemon juice (or vinegar), mustard, and salt. Blend them together for about 30 seconds until everything is mixed well.

2. Emulsify with Oil: With the blender or food processor running on low speed, slowly start to drizzle in the oil. Begin with a few drops at a time, gradually increasing to a thin, steady stream. It’s crucial to pour slowly to ensure the mixture emulsifies properly.

3. Blend Until Thickened: Continue to blend until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. This process might take a few minutes. If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can thin it out by blending in 1 teaspoon of water.

4. Taste and Adjust: Once the mayonnaise has reached the right consistency, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more lemon juice for tartness, salt for seasoning, or mustard for tanginess.

Storage:

• Store your keto mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for up to one week.

Tips:

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your egg is at room temperature to help ensure the mayonnaise emulsifies properly.

• Oil Choices: Light olive oil is preferred over extra virgin olive oil because it has a milder flavor. Avocado oil is also a great choice due to its neutral taste and health benefits.

• Fixing Broken Mayonnaise: If your mayonnaise doesn’t emulsify and remains runny, you can try fixing it by starting with a new egg in a clean bowl and slowly blending in the broken mayonnaise.
