Eggs. Oil. S&P. A squirt (sorry, I had to say squirt) of dijon mustard. Boom...or actually...Blend. MAYO!
This was a first-go for us at making mayonnaise! It's one of those things that we'd like to stop buying at the grocery store because there are A TON of additives and junky stuff in most store-bought mayo. Bummer. I have a running list of things I want to start making myself (or have my cave-man make...as demonstrated below!). Maybe sometime I'll share it with you. If you're lucky. Or if I ever get around to it...
Thankfully there are quite a few places on the inter-webs to learn how to make your own mayonnaise! I started here with Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo (btw: I wish I could look as cute as her in pig-tails) and ended up using the recipe from The Clothes Make the Girl.
I'm not going to lie. We weren't in love with our homegrown mayo AT FIRST. After a few ham-lettuce-tomato-mayo-roll-ups and some tuna salad -- we are sold! The recipe and directions were spot on, we just want to play with the flavor a bit. Possibly a different type of oil? I'll keep you posted. Because I know you are on the edge of your seat.
