this recipe was absolutely amazing. i have never had homemade mayo before, and i couldnt believe how good mayo could taste. the difference between this recipe and store bought is night and day, both in terms of texture and taste. followed the recipe to a t, and used my kitchen aid stick blender. i am looking forward to trying variations suggested by other reviewers in the future. i will never, ever buy store mayo again. thank you so much for posting.

I basically became a member to say how darn good the recipe is. I was extremely pleased with the consistency. I did add a little bit more salt but that's all I'm going to do with it. To me, it's very similar to the mayonnaise we used when I worked in the restaurant business which, in my opinion, is far better than grocery store brands. Thanks.

Growing up in the South, mayonnaise was added to most all sandwiches and salads. Now with all the changes in commercial mayonnaise, I was looking for one that tastes like I remembered, and this is it! I did do as some recommended, using a little lemon juice as well as vinegar, and it came out wonderfully! This is a great recipe to use as a base for other things too, dressings, sauces, etc.

The first time I tried this I ended up with a watery substance. The secret is with the immersion blender, I also used egg yolk and didn't use the whites but that wouldn't matter. I used half vinegar and half lemon juice and it taste good. I put in all of the ingredients and started the blender and then started adding oil and voila, mayo!!! For those of you that thought it was bland, spice it up!

This is a great recipe if you are concerned about wasting the egg white. I have made this recipe using all kinds of oil and my favorite is regular vegetable oil. I would not recommend using Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as it lends to much flavor to the end result and can give your mayonnaise an almost bitter note. Like others I have split the acid using 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar and 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice for a nice addition to the flavor, I also added an extra 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Also, like many others suggest, I use my immersion blender and add all the ingredients to a quart mason jar and start at the bottom and blend up. It is amazingly effective and mess free.

I used 1/2 lemon juice & 1/2 apple cider vinegar for the 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and mixed with an immersion blender but otherwise followed the recipe. It was so fun to see it change color and thicken! I like the simple fresh taste, next time I'll probably add a touch more salt & maybe some herbs. I can't believe how easy it was! I'm excited to try different oils and seasonings :)

It is exactly my recipe this is how I've been making mayo since I was 14.This is very cost effective as you see in my country buying a 200 gm of mayo costs over 190 bucks I find this recipe very comforting.And to be honest I never made mayo with olive or vegetable oil.As you see in our part of the world we use soy bean oil and I've been making mayo with it and to give more flavor and texture I process whole mustard seed with my mayo and trust me it rises more flavor in your pallet.

Use the lightest EV olive oil you can find, and the best freshest eggs at room temp. If you forget to take your eggs out then put in cup of hot water for just a few minutes. I believe this is very necessary to have room temp. eggs. I have made this for 3 mos. now and have added a pinch more salt and a touch of lemon juice for a more mayo flavor. I used a food processor and mix everything but the oil for a good minute or two, then I place a plastic cup with a small hole in the bottom in the hopper and let the EVOO go very very very slow for at least 15 minutes. Excellent.
