paleo mayo

i'm amazed at how many ingredients go into making things taste the way they do (and by that i mean, good)...EVERYTHING has added sugar (and usually not the good kind).  doing this whole30 has caused me to get creative with my foods.  i would like to make egg salad and tuna salad but i can't use regular mayo and i bet the kind i can have is wayyyyy tooooo expensive.  i found a paleo recipe in my blendtec book and tried it...not bad.  

**there are tons of whole 30 and paleo recipes online if you don't like this one


the pepper like things in the mayo are from the dijon mustard


ingredients:
  • 1 large egg AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon style mustard (watch ingredients)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup olive oil (wondering about coconut oil??)

directions:
**there are a couple of ways to do this...mine was made in a blendtec blender
  1. place ingredients (except olive oil) into blender in order as listed
  2. press the "pulse" button and hold for 10 seconds
  3. press the "speed" button until blender reaches speed 6-allow blender to run for 10 seconds-then slowly add the olive oil (add this graduallly until mixture has thickened
  4. allow blender to run for about 1- to 15 more seconds
  5. refrigerate 30 minutes
  6. enjoy!!

xoxo
