Easy Homemade Paleo Mayonnaise

Share the ♥︎

Homemade mayonnaise is sooooo easy to make that you’ll wonder why you ever purchased store bought mayo. The classic version is delicious, versatile and takes less than 5 minutes to make. Plus it’s Paleo, Whole30, keto, sugar-free and vegetarian. And you can use it as the basis for many other dressings and sauces — including an amazing Caesar Salad dressing recipe.

Make this easy homemade paleo mayonnaise with a food processor, blender or immersion blender — it’s just so much FUN to see it come together.

Super important: You must use either light olive oil or avocado oil in this recipe. Traditional extra virgin olive oil will not emulsify properly.

The mayonnaise will keep for as long as the eggs are fresh so be sure to check the freshness date on your egg carton when you prepare this sauce. The expiration date for your eggs will be the expiration date for your mayonnaise.

Turn Your Homemade Mayonnaise Into Sauces and Dressings

Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, try any and all of these variations (added to one cup of homemade mayonnaise). They make a great sandwich spread as well as a dipping sauce for fries or roasted vegetables. (If you haven’t tried dipping my Crispy Sheet Pan Broccoli in one of these sauces, you’re missing out!)

  • Spicy Mayo – Mix in 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce
  • Garlic Aoli – Add one clove minced garlic
  • Herb Mayo – Add 1 tablespoon dry seasoning or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, garlic, oregano or a combination all work well)
  • Truffle Aoli – Add one clove minced garlic and 2 teaspoons truffle oil
  • Everything Bagel Spread – Add 2 tablespoons Everything But the Bagel seasoning
  • Caesar Salad Dressing – this recipe isn’t an “add in” but it uses the same technique as the basic mayo recipe.
