Do you make mayonnaise at home?
Not really
The density of the product is regulated by vegetable oil. If you use sunflower, use the proportions from the recipes. Olive oil makes the sauce thicker and denser. It is used less.
Ingredients:
- vinegar 6% – 1 tsp;
- chicken egg – 1 pc.;
- vegetable oil – 1 cup;
- mustard – 2 tsp;
- salt – ½ tsp. (taste).
Cooking instructions:
- Remove the food from the refrigerator and let it sit for an hour so that it all reaches the same temperature.
- Break a fresh egg and beat with a blender. You can use a mixer or whisk for this recipe, as no solid ingredients are used. The “use a blender” condition is mandatory if garlic, herbs, etc. are added to the product.
- Add vinegar to the egg. If yours is 6% and 9%, divide the amount by 2.
- Stir salt into the mixture. We recommend adding a pinch of sugar. A mixture of salt and sugar is an excellent flavor enhancer.
- Add mustard powder. If you have thin mustard, add it at the very end. The amount indicated in the recipe differs depending on taste preferences.
- Beat the mixture well.
- While continuing to whisk, pour in the herbal ingredient.
- Beat the ingredients until you reach a homogeneous consistency.
Bon appetit!

A way to make mayonnaise at home in 10 minutes
This is a classic method of preparation - a luxury option for obtaining an emulsion. It is prepared using a food processor or any blender.
To prepare 10-minute mayonnaise you need:
- 2 yolks at room temperature
- 200-220 ml of vegetable oil, we recommend olive oil with a mild taste and aroma, you can also take refined sunflower

Why is the sauce not thick?
Perhaps you have already tried to make homemade mayonnaise yourself, but instead it turned out to be a liquid, stratifying slurry. Why is this happening? Here are the main mistakes that are made during cooking:
- Temperature conditions. All ingredients should be at room temperature. You can’t take eggs out of the refrigerator and immediately start whisking them. They need to be given time to warm up.
- A damp glass or bowl in which mayonnaise is whipped. The dishes must be thoroughly dried and there should be no drops of moisture in them.
- When using a blender, it does not press to the bottom of the glass, or rises too high. Be sure to wait until the sauce thickens while beating and only then begin to carefully lift the blender so that the butter is mixed in small portions.
These are the simple rules for obtaining a beautiful snow-white thick sauce.
Be sure to try one of the suggested recipes and I guarantee that you will never go back to the store-bought version.
With dry mustard
To make the product at home, you don’t have to buy regular mustard. It is replaced with mustard powder. Cooking will not take much time. It is combined with pickled herring with onions, vinegar and oil. Cooking time 5 minutes.

Reviews about homemade mayonnaise
My family and I love mayonnaise very much. But something bought in a store is not much use. It probably does some harm. So not long ago I decided to cook it at home, on my own. I’ll say right away: I didn’t succeed the first time. But I put in a little more effort and achieved the desired result. Now I cook myself all the time.

Yes, homemade mayonnaise with mustard and vinegar cannot be replaced by anything after you try it. My wife prepared this, and after it it’s simply unpleasant to eat store-bought. And, the best part is that the recipe is not only simple, but also very affordable: everything you need can be found in the refrigerator.

I have been making homemade mayonnaise for a long time. I tried many recipes. But my favorite is mayonnaise based on quail eggs. The result is a very delicate, pleasant-tasting and healthy product. Sometimes, for a change, I just make it with vinegar and mustard. But this is in rare cases.

I tried making mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar. I really liked the result. Firstly, there are pleasant delicate notes. Secondly, there is an apple aroma. This mayonnaise can be used not only for dressings, but also just spread on bread and enjoy eating.

I replaced mustard with powder. I had never made mayonnaise like this before, I thought it wouldn’t work, or the taste wouldn’t be the same. But in the end everything worked out well: mustard powder is absolutely suitable for making mayonnaise. I will definitely do it again. Fast, tasty and high quality.

I was very pleased with the eggless recipe. I'm vegan, so I don't eat them either. And finding suitable mayonnaise on the shelves of our stores is an almost impossible mission. But, as it turned out, there is a way out. Now I make my own mayonnaise using a Lenten recipe. It turns out tasty, satisfying and, most importantly, healthy for my body. I found a good replacement for an industrial product.

And I make “Provencal” according to my own recipe. To be more precise, I add slightly different spices. And at the same time, the final composition always depends on the mood. As a result, each time you get mayonnaise with a new taste. Very interesting and unusual.
