Love Mayo? Make Your Own with Coconut Oil!

Ah, mayonnaise! Affectionately known as mayo, it’s the ideal go-to sauce for that fried chicken, potato salad or any of your other ‘guilty pleasures’. If you’re a loyal mayo lover, why not try something a little different? No, we don’t mean trying another brand. But what if you could make your own… and use virgin coconut oil?

Below are three reasons why you should start making your personal stash at home… and save money while you’re at it using Nesian Virgin Coconut Oil.

1. The use of unhealthy ingredients. Mayonnaise often contains processed soybean oil and added refined sugar. This is not the healthiest of combinations and can ultimately lead to non-communicable diseases like diabetes.
2. The presence of chemical additives. Homemade mayo is a better option for diet-conscious people. When you’re creating your own all-natural condiment, you’re adding in healthier elements and in the right amounts as you wish.
3. Make it a family fun activity! Are you now feeling inspired to make your own mayo? Summon that inner Master Chef, gather your family together and try out the following recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks (at room temperature)
• 1 TBSP lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or regular, or ½ tsp dried mustard powder)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ½ cup olive oil
• ½ cup coconut oil (melted, or other healthy oil)

Instructions

1. Put egg yolks into blender or bowl and whisk/blend until smooth.
2. Add lemon juice or vinegar, mustard, and spices and blend until mixed.
3. SLOWLY add oil while blending or whisking at low speed, starting with olive oil. Start with a drop at a time until it starts to emulsify and then keep adding slowly until all oil is incorporated.
