KellyDB Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hello Everyone - I know that mayo fails are a huge issue for everyone on Whole30. I had my first mayo fail a couple of days ago, which I then had to whine about on Facebook, which was good because a talented cook friend of mine suggested a super easy fix that worked like a charm. And keep in mind, my thin, nasty, lumpy mayo fail had been in the fridge for about 48 hours when I pulled it out to salvage it, so this works even after it's sat for a while. In fact, it might be good to let it cool and let you cool before trying this, just in case mayo responds to stress Here's his directions: Begin with everything at room temperature (including the bowl) and whisk together an egg yolk and a few drops of oil. Whisk gently, adding a few more splashes of oil, and it should start to come together without much effort. Pour in the dregs a trickle at a time. Once you're sure it's staying thick, you can use the immersion blender to finish your mayonnaise with the rest of the dregs. Add as much oil/lemon/seasoning as it takes to reach your desired result. You can see before and after pics on my blog, although I warn you it's not an awesome, professional looking blog like we're all used to, just a little something my daughter and I do for fun. Good luck with your mayo, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxamoll Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thank you! My first Whole 30 mayo was a fail, although I've made it before perfectly fine. Maybe I was stressed about it? Anyway, I'm going to give this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 apparently it's impossible to make mayo around that time of the month.... anyone else heard that? or experienced it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in the dump the ingredients in the bowl and use my immersion blender in quick bursts. Done. I don't do any babying or slow drizzling. The one time my mayo went past mayo was when I did the slow drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I found this recipe online, which seems encouragingly simple...http://thehealthyfoodie.com/2013/07/07/fail-proof-home-made-paleo-mayo-whole30-compliant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberino21 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've made two batches - both good! I use a little food processor and drizzle the oil in slowly...so delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
