Homemade Keto Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise can be a suitable option for a keto diet because it is often high in fat and low in carbohydrates.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
