I have been getting a TON of questions about my being on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
I've been able to follow it and adapt it to my family very easily. I tend to do better on low carb eating anyway, which means higher, good fats. Darn.
I've been on the quest to eating as clean as possible and once I knew I could eat mayo without guilt and actually read the label, I could no longer eat it without guilt. The crap in a jar of mayonnaise is staggering. Go check it out. It's a jar o junk.
So I decided to make my own. Very easy. Very. I'm so impressed with myself ;)
I have find it doesn't last NEARLY as long as the store bought, because, well, all the JUNK to keep its shelf life longer. So I make it a small batch at a time and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- Juice of half a lemon-a fresh lemon
- 3/4 Cup avocado oil
I mix mine in, what else, a mason jar :) Mix all the ingredients except oil. Whisk together-I use a hand held whisk attachment on my hand held blender. Whisk til blended. Then slowly-ever so slowly, add your oil. Blend til thick and creamy and mayonnaise-y.
I use avocado oil because it's pretty much flavorless and light.
Your flavor options are endless. Add a clove of minced garlic, some chopped rosemary, use apple cider vinegar or red wine or even balsamic vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar.
I use it for anything and everything you'd use mayonnaise for. I pretty much have to control the urge to lick the beater. It's that good.
