Homemade Keto Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise can be a suitable option for a keto diet because it is often high in fat and low in carbohydrates.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 5 minutes mins
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 cup vegetable oil or light olive oil
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and Dijon mustard (if using) until well combined.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the oil in a steady stream. Start with a few drops at a time, and gradually increase to a thin stream as the mixture thickens.
Keep whisking until the mayo emulsifies and thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or lemon juice.
Transfer the homemade mayo to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before using. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
