How to make Homemade Mayonnaise
One of the first things I learned to make from scratch was mayo. It turned out to be the easiest of all condiments to make! I make mine in a wide mouth mason jar with an immersion blender. Homemade mayo is always in my fridge!
The uses for homemade mayo are endless. Use it in tuna salad, egg salad, and ham salad. It’s great to just put on a sandwich, of course! You can also make homemade dressings with your mayo! I make a ranch dressing that is amazing on any salad!
When I was a child, I remember loving mayo! I wanted it on everything:) When I started on a healthier, from scratch diet, I found out that store bought Mayo is full of ingredients and it doesn’t have to be! There were so many ingredients, I couldn’t read them all!
In my process to make everything from scratch, I always look at the ingredients of what I am trying to make. It never ceases to amaze me how you can make the same thing with so many fewer ingredients!
You will need: 1 wide mouth mason jar, an immersion blender, salt, lemon juice, olive oil or avocado oil, and an egg.
In the jar add the egg, a splash of lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and pour in 3/4 cup of oil. Using your immersion blender, blend until thick and creamy.
I place a plastic Ball lid on the jar and put it in the fridge immediately. It lasts for 7-10 days. There is nothing better than egg salad made with homemade mayo!
It’s that easy! I hope you will give this quick and simple recipe a try. Once you make your own mayo, you’ll never buy it again!

This is great mayo, I tried it myself after watching your video. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.
Thanks! So glad you like it! God bless!
I love your recipes and want to try your homemade mayo, but isn’t the raw egg in it a concern? I always thought you shouldn’t eat raw egg…
I have never had an issue. I use fresh eggs from my backyard flock. However, years ago, I made it with store bought eggs without any issues.
