Paleo Mayonnaise Recipe (2024)

And to think that I believed I wouldn't enjoy mayonnaise ever again on Paleo, boy was I wrong! Paleo is the chance to discover blends and flavors of mayonnaise that will stay unknown to most people.

For example, the baconnaise, the duckonnaise or the beefonnaise all made from the fat of their respective animal, pork, duck and beef. Most people think that this is a heart attack in a jar, but we know better and know that it's really a healthy food.

Paleo Mayonnaise Recipe (1)

I'll give you two different versions of mayonnaise recipes today, a coconut oil mayonnaise and the now famous baconnaise.

The technique of preparation is the same for both, and also keep in mind that you can extend this delicious concoction with spices, fresh herbs (dill is delicious in it), garlic, or even chopped pickles for a tartar sauce.

As for the technique, you can use a blender, a food processor, or your soon to be sore hand and awhisk. I prefer the version made by hand because it's really not that hard, and it makes for fewer things to clean afterward.

The technique isbasicallythe same for all those methods, so I'll explain it in a comprehensible way for the three methods.

The coconut mayonnaise is made with half olive oil because it would become way too hard in the refrigerator. I don't recommend a full olive oil mayonnaise unless you use a light tasting olive oil because it will taste too strong.

Coconut Paleo Mayonnaise Recipe

  • 2 egg yolks

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl (blender, food processor), mix the yolks, mustard, if using, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  2. Start whiskingvigorously(blender or food processor on low) while dripping the oil very slowly, even drop by drop in the beginning. You're creating an emulsion, and if you put too much oil at once, it will separate and will be very hard to save. Whisk non-stop and use a towel under the bowl to help stabilize it.
  3. As you add more oil, the emulsion will form, and the mayonnaise will start tothickenyou can pour the oil faster at this point.
  4. When all the oil is incorporated, and the mayonnaise is thick, whisk in the rest of the lemon juice and taste your creation. You can season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Enjoy without guilt, and keep the leftovers in the refrigerator!

And here you go, it's that simple. Of course, I encourage you to play with it and come up with new variations. Happy Paleo mayonnaise making!
