Five Minute Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a really yummy addition to so many dishes. It can spice up a sandwich, make the perfect potato salad for a summer braai or just add some tang to a nice piece of grilled chicken… Most options available to purchase, even the healthier versions, contain processed oils such as sunflower or canola, which we try to avoid.
This mayonnaise is also a wonderful way to consume cold-pressed nut and seed oils and get all the wonderful health benefits they offer. I make it in my blender jug but any blender or food processor, or even a glass jar with your immersion blender submerged in it will work fine.
Ingredients
2 pastured eggs
1/2 tsp yellow mustard powder
1/2 tsp himalayan or othr unrefined salt
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp honey
250ml cold-pressed oil of your choice (my favourites are macadamia, grapeseed or avocado)
Method
Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and process until well mixed and smooth. Add the oil a little at a time and process further until a nice thick consistency is reached. Taste and adjust salt / apple cider vinegar / honey to taste. Store in a glass jar in the fridge where it will last about seven days – if not eaten up before then.
