Homemade Canola Oil Mayonnaise

All you need are four ingredients and a food processor
to make your own rich, creamy, and delicious homemade mayo!

As you can probably tell from my earlier posts, I’m a huge mayonnaise fan.  I make it myself because most of the store-bought stuff has all of those nasty preservatives and added sugar.  You can buy all natural canola oil mayonnaise, but it’s rather expensive.  Once you start making it yourself you’ll find out how easy it is and you’ll never go back to buying it again…  and you’ll save a buck or two to boot.

You can get creative by adding fresh herbs and spices, garlic, onion, hot peppers or whatever you’re in the mood for.  You can also experiment with different oils.  Olive oil is my favorite. 

Any way you do it, this recipe is great for anything that calls for mayo… or just spread it on a sandwich.   You will love it!

Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1¼ cup canola oil

Instructions
  1. Add the egg, lemon juice, mustard, and 1 tablespoon of the oil to a food processor and process on high for one minute.
  2. Turn machine on high again and slowly pour remaining oil through the opening of the food processor. Refrigerate.

Notes
Vinegar can be substituted for the lemon juice. For olive oil mayo, try a 1 cup canola-1/4 cup olive oil blend. Remember that this in not loaded with preservatives, so it should not be left at room temperature for longer than 1 hour. Mayo will keep in the refrigerator for about a week. Yield about 1½ cups.
