The Best Homemade Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise has always been one of my favorite condiments! But when buying mayo from the store, many questionable oils are used such as soybean or vegetable oil, preservatives and chemicals.

When I make homemade mayo on the other hand, it is packed with protein and good fats, and it tastes delicious! This Mayonnaise Recipe is simple to make and is a healthy addition to a tuna or chicken salad. Even though there are now some great store bought mayo options, I still prefer the homemade version when I have time to make it.

Please note: it is very important that all the ingredients are at room temperature for this recipe. If not, the ingredients will not blend well and will separate during storage.
