Oh my gosh….I finally did it!! You guys are going to LOVE this Easy Blender Mayonnaise! Okay maybe I should back up for a minute. I tried several times last summer to create a roasted garlic aioli {mayonnaise} and I just could not get it to work. It kept breaking on me and looked like thick, ugly, goo instead of a gorgeously blended mayonnaise…..
I was so frustrated that I finally cheated and created a Super Easy Garlic Aioli instead using store bought mayonnaise…but I was determined to try it again! I grabbed an old cookbook I got for a class in college and decided to tweak it a bit to make it Whole 30 and Paleo compliant. Boy am I glad that I did, it is perfect!! Once you make this Easy Blender Mayonnaise, you won’t want to go back to the stuff in the plastic jar. 😉
I decided to make it with a blender this time around, hence the name, and just about everyone owns a blender. {I have this one}
How to make Easy Blender Mayonnaise:
Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the vinegar, lemon juice, egg, salt, paprika, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper into a blender…..
Cover and blend for 5 seconds.
Remove the center of the cover, while the blender is still running, and begin “drizzling” in the remaining olive oil. Very, very, slowly in a thin stream…we do not want it to break.
I could not get a photo of this part because it started to splatter and I was holding my hand over the hole…which got kind of messy…..
but that’s okay, because it turned out exactly the way it was supposed to…..
Pour into a container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use…..
Yes, I love storing all of my sauces and dressings in mason jars, lol. I use these wide mouth 16 ounce pint jars just in case you were wondering. 😉
Notes:
- I use organic, cage-free, brown eggs which tend to have a deeper orange yolk and lower risk of salmonella**.
- You want to use a light olive oil, not the extra virgin oil because it’s flavor is way too strong. {I used Filippo Berio For Sauteing & Grilling olive oil}
- Make sure your ingredients are all at room temperature! If you forget to pull the egg out ahead of time, just stick it in a bowl covered with warm water for five minutes.
- A dash of cayenne literally means a dash. Give it a quick shake over the blender and you’re good…unless you like super spicy mayonnaise. 😉
**this recipe contains raw egg** Infants, pregnant women, older adults and other high-risk groups should avoid eating raw eggs. In these groups, Salmonella infection may lead to serious, life-threatening complications.
I grew up eating raw cookie dough, I lick the beaters when I bake a cake, and I have never gotten sick from doing so. To avoid the possibility of contamination, use pasteurized eggs.
Do you know what I am going to make tomorrow with my Easy Blender Mayonnaise? I am going to make Homemade Ranch Dressing that is dairy-free, whole 30 and paleo compliant…yum!
Enjoy!!

This sounds amazing! I’ve always wanted to make mayo, and this looks so easy. Must try it 🙂
It is super easy Liz, and delicious. 🙂
This looks really good. I have a surplus of avocado oil from Costco. Do you think it would work well in place of the olive oil?
Yes, avocado oil will work really well in mayonnaise. 🙂
How long will this mayo keep in the refrigerator?
5 to 7 days PJ. 🙂
I keep it up to 7 days, PJ.
