Mayonnaise - Like Miracle Whip! (GF)


 MAYONNAISE
Commercial mayonnaise is often filled with sugar! This recipe is delicious.  Using 3 tbsp lemon juice gives this mayonnaise a bit of a bite so reducing it is fine too.  Adjust sweetness to taste.  Using lemon juice instead of vinegar is smart if you suspect a yeast infection or intestinal yeast overgrowth (runaway appetite and flatulence are a couple of symptoms).  This tastes more like Miracle Whip to me.

1 extra-large egg
  (organic, if possible)
3 tbsp white vinegar, OR (45 mL)
  lemon juice  (this can reduced to 2 tbsp (30 mL))
1 tbsp water (15 mL)
3 tbsp SPLENDA® Granular (45 mL)
2 tsp prepared mustard (10 mL)
1/2 tsp salt (I used half No Salt) (2 mL)
1/4 tsp white pepper (1 mL)
1/4 tsp Thickening Agent, page 60 (1 mL)  I used xanthan gum (an 1/8 tsp was enough)
1 cup light-tasting olive oil (250 mL)

In covered blender, blend egg, vinegar or lemon juice, water, SPLENDA® Granular, mustard, dry mustard powder, salt and white pepper at low speed.  Uncover blender or through hole in lid, add Thickening Agent, page 60 and at low speed in slow, steady stream, add olive oil, until mayonnaise is thoroughly mixed and thickened.

Helpful Hints:  Cider vinegar may be used instead of white vinegar, if desired.

Wow - that is one cool recipe! I can't find quinoa anywhere, but my local grocery store sells xanthum gum...go figure!

Just as an FYI - frequent yeast infections is also a sign of diabetes...

Ann, that is true but it can also be as a result of other things as well; can be complicated finding reasons for recurrences.

Oops, Rita, I'm so sorry, I deleted your comment - too easy to do that! :( Thanks for commenting. Glad you bookmarked the recipe. :)

I just made some mayo today. Trying a blend of oils. I make mine in the Vitamix and don't use any thickening agent. It gets plenty thick. I'll try your recipe next time.

Hey, great minds think alike. I actually only had half the mayo left when I photographed it; so I made mine a couple of days ago. I think why I like this mayo is the light-tasting olive oil leaves no "taste" to overpower the other ingredients.

I'm not a mayo fan in general, but I may try this recipe!

Hi Tiffany - maybe it will change your mind?
