Ingredients

  • 1 organic, pastured egg
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp dry mustard (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic (optional, for alioli)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup flaxseed oil (or substitute with additional olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Combine raw egg and lemon juice in blender.
  2. Add 1 drop olive oil and continue to blend on high for 30 seconds.
  3. Add 2 more drops olive oil and blend for 30 seconds.
  4. Add 5 more drops olive oil and blend for 30 seconds.
  5. Continue to slowly incorporate olive oil in small portions (about 1 Tbs at a time).  The consistency of mayonnaise should begin to develop.
  6. When olive oil is completely incorporated, slowly drizzle flaxseed oil into the blender and continue to blend.

For a quick alternative, incorporate 1 clove garlic into step 1, and increase lemon juice to 1 Tbsp to make Alioli.

  1. What am I doing wrong? I tried to make this but the consistency won’t thicken like mayo? It is still liquidy. Help, I must be doing something wrong.

  2. You have to add the oils slowly while the blender is on. It will actually thicken quickly once it starts

  3. needs a little vinegar. Thickened up nicely for me but the taste was off

  6. Do I have to use flax seed oil? Or could I Just use a whole cup of olive oil since I’m out of flaxseed?
    Thanks.

  7. @Eric – Olive oil is perfect.

  8. I had a consistency problem too, I did go slowly. At first it was working but, then turned to liquid before all was added. I used only olive oil but you did say that Olive oil is perfect to use too. Any ideas. I used a Vita-Mix after awhile of being on it turns hot. Maybe the ingredients were actually cooking.

  9. Kimberly – Yeah, it could have been cooking it with the heat. Do you have a normal blender or a food processor that doesn’t get do hot? Otherwise, I’m not sure what to tell you… Sorry!

  10. I think “literate” needs a lesson on being nice. There’s enough nastiness in the world without adding to it.
