Today we wanted to share a recipe for homemade avocado oil mayonnaise.
Have you ever ran out of mayonnaise in the middle of making sandwiches and realized you didn’t have any extra jar in your pantry. It’s moments like these that you don’t have time to run to the store and are in need of an alternative.
An alternative isn’t necessary because you can make your own homemade avocado oil mayonnaise in less than 2 minutes. It’s a very simple recipe that can be made with an immersion blender or food processor with only five ingredients.
We find making it in a wide mouth mason jar with an immersion blender makes for easy preparation and clean-up. You can add all your ingredients, use your immersion blender and store it in this same jar.
This homemade mayonnaise is great if you are on a special diet such as keto, gluten free, non-GMO or organic. You can select whatever type of oil you prefer and can control all of the ingredients in the mayonnaise. You can even go so far as to cut out of the salt in this recipe if you are on a low sodium diet. By having your own mayonnaise recipe you have the flexibility to be able to control those aspects of your mayonnaise.
We prefer avocado oil as there are many health benefits to using avocado oil. In addition, avocado oil is a non-GMO oil that is readily available in local stores.
Mayonnaise is used all year long but becomes especially prominent in the summer months where you are preparing a lot more cold sandwiches such as chicken salad, tuna salad or egg salad. In addition, you’re typically adding mayonnaise to your summer salads such as pasta salad, potato salad or macaroni salad. Mayonnaise can also be used to make your own sauces or spreads. Therefore, we can’t think of better time of year to share this recipe with you.

Because of the raw egg, we would say about one week. Make this mayonnaise when you are planning to make a few recipes that call for mayonnaise or a whole lot of sandwiches. Our family uses up this mayonnaise pretty quickly just on the regular weekly foods we make.
