Store bought mayonnaise can be expensive, and filled with harsh vegetables, or soy. That’s why making homemade keto mayonnaise is well worth the effort. Its cheaper, healthier and contains zero nasty ingredients.
Mayonnaise is a friendly accompanimentto chicken recipes or any other white meats that tend to go dry. Not only does keto mayonnaise help boost the fat content of your meal, but it can improve the flavorof even the blandest recipe.
Most store-bought mayonnaise containssoybean oil, which can be a problem for those suffering from a common illness known as Polycystic ovarian syndrome (or PCOS).
Olive oil is a much better alternative and contains many antioxidants that soybeans don’t contain.
How Does This Keto Mayonnaise Taste?
This mayonnaise is creamy, zesty and full of flavor. The combination of eggs, dijon mustard, and lemon juice is not a flavor force to be reckoned with.
The reason mayonnaise becomes a light creamy sauce as opposed to an oily mess is a scientific process called an “Emulsion”.
This is where fine droplets of one ingredient are evenly dispersed throughout another ingredient that wouldn’t usually mix together.
This emulsion is the key to having a light and fluffy mayonnaise, compared to a jar of lightly coloredwhite muck! But don’t worry, I’m going to teach you exactly how to master this recipe so that you’ll never have to buy mayonnaise ever again!

Prep: 10 minutes minutes
Total: 10 minutes minutes
Print Rate Serves14 Servings
Ingredients
- 250 ml olive oil Light Tasting Works Best
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 Whole Egg Yolk
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 Lemon Juice From Whole Lemon
Instructions
Place the egg yolk and Dijon mustard into the bottom of a bowl. Whisk together until combined.
Slowly, add the olive oil, mixing consistently throughout the process. I cannot stress how slowly you have to pour this oil in, otherwise the emulsion won't work.
Once the mixture starts to form a slightly stiffer consistency, you can add the oil in more rapidly without any concern.
Mix in the lemon juice and salt. This will give the mayonnaise a lighter colour and make it taste just like real mayonnase.

If you use a stick blender in the jug it came with (the blender just
fits in the bottom) you can put all the ingredients in before you
start mixing. Keep the blender firmly on the bottom for 10 sec
before moving it around.

Would this work with avocado oil instead of olive oil? I have tried to make mayo using avocado oil before, unsuccessfully, but I don’t know whether the problem was with the oil or something else.

Hi Beth, the oil part would work fine, as this is an emulsion. However, avocado oil tends to be quite heavy in taste, which doesn’t lend it self well to being a mayonnaise. I would try macadamia oil potentially?

That’s interesting, I saw another recipe that recommended using
avocado oil because of its superior flavour, I guess it’s just a
matter of taste. Like you though, if using olive oil they said to use
light and not a full extra virgin oil because the flavour is too strong.
