Make your own mayonnaise; it’s mostly just eggs and oil, and homemade tastes better than store-bought.

Warning
Homemade mayonnaise contains raw egg. Don’t leave it at room temperature or you risk a salmonella infection.

Step 1: Blend ingredients
Put all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor and mix or whisk by hand until creamy.

Tip
Customize your mayo with fresh herbs, spices, horseradish, onions, garlic, capers, or anything else you’d like.

Step 2: Add the oil
Whisking continuously, or with the food processor running, begin incorporating oil, just a few drops or two at a time, waiting 30 seconds after the first couple of additions of oil, then pouring it in a very slow stream. As you get to the end of the oil, check the texture; you may not need to use all the oil.

Tip
If the mayo is too thick, thin it with a little lemon juice or cider vinegar.

Step 3: Finish and chill
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if you need to. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate. The mayo will stay good for three to five days.

Step 4: Fix it
If the mayonnaise begins to separate, which it often does while refrigerated, reconstitute it by putting an egg yolk in a bowl and slowly whisking the broken mayo into the new egg yolk, a little at a time.

Hellmann’s mayonnaise began as a salad and sandwich dressing made by New York City deli owner Richard Hellmann’s wife in 1905.

  1. Scaring us with the raw egg thing. Ive uses raw eggs a lot and ive never got sick. And the egg is at room temperature.

  2. Also add grape juice ( 1/8 tsp ) it makes it sweeter and lasts up to 7 – 10 days instead of 3 – 5 days

  3. thank you so much for posting this! I just ran out and have everthing to make just as you state!

  4. this might be a stupid question but, could you use a blender instead of food processor?
