Mayonaise… It’s good for you???

16 Oct

Don’t let the title trick you… mayo can be good for you… delicious, and healthy! This recipe is loaded with healthy fats from egg and olive oil, and it has none of the junk ingredients and fillers found in store bought mayo.

Doing paleo, sandwiches are out, but I make a delicious chicken salad using homemade mayo. The stuff in the store is just garbage. I checked out leading brands, and the best names and most expensive are loaded with bad ingredients. Cain’s “with Olive Oil” mayo for example has soybean oil as the first ingredient!

This recipe is awesome! Tastes just like the jar stuff, but it is healthy, and paleo friendly. Make sure you keep it in the fridge, no longer than 72 hours.

Ingredients:

1 egg
1 tblsp of apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

In a blender, blend well egg, apple cider vinegar and sea salt. SLOWLY add the olive oil in a thin stream while blending. Continue to blend on low/medium setting until it reaches the consistency of mayonnaise.
