Olive Oil Mayonnaise

This olive oil mayonnaise is super easy to make and comment together in just minutes!

What I think is really great about olive oil mayonnaise over regular mayonnaise is that olive oil is so healthy. So, I feel really pretty good about my food choices when I use this mayonnaise.

What kind of olive oil to use?

I prefer using a mild flavored olive oil. However you can use any you like, including EVO.

Do I have to use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar?

No, you can also use distilled white vinegar, lemon juice, unseasoned rice vinegar, or red wine vinegar.

The point is to have the acidity to help stabilize the mayonnaise.

Do you have to use mustard?

Technically no, but if you don’t, the mayonnaise will have a very thin texture.

Can I use a mustard aside from dijon mustard?

I wouldn’t recommend using any mustard aside from dijon mustard because it has the most mild flavor.

I once tried using your basic yellow mustard because I didn’t have dijon and I figured that it was better than using spicy brown mustard.

It made my mayonnaise taste so much like mustard that I considered trying to figure out what to make so I could use it as a mustard dip.

I also wondered if the spicy mayo may have been a slightly better option, but I doubt it.

Why is my mayonnaise so white?

Homemade mayonnaise is lighter than many store bought mayonnaises.

If you want to make your mayonnaise more yellow, you can add a pinch of turmeric.

Turmeric is a natural food coloring and is used in dishes like Israeli yellow rice to give them their distinct flavor.

How long does homemade mayonnaise last?

It will last up to 2 weeks stored in the refrigerator for in an airtight container.
