Making our own mayonnaise was one of the first things we wanted to try early in our Paleo journey, when Makenna’s health demanded that we make changes to her diet. Traditional mayo uses highly processed oils that are typically very inflammatory. When we made our first batch, we were so thrilled to see these simple ingredients come together and know that we could in fact make our own successfully. Early on we used olive oil and found that, depending on the brand, it can make a very strongly flavored mayonnaise. Since then, we’ve moved to using avocado oil, since it’s mild in flavor. We like the addition of vinegar and salt in our variation along with the mustard—we think this combo makes the mayo’s flavor more vibrant while still keeping it mild.
