megsmatts Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hello~ I'm on Day 5 of Whole 30 and what I'm missing most is mayo/dressing. I don't want to make my own mayo and they don't sell Tessemae's at the Whole Foods near me.....are there any other Whole 30 approved pre-made mayo (or dressing)? I know that Tessemae's does ship, but wanted a local alternative if there was one. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Any particular reason you don't want to make your own? It takes just a couple of minutes and it's way better than store bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsmatts Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I know it sounds silly but something about the egg makes me feel like I won't prepare it right and give myself food poisoning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 You can look high and low but you're not likely to find any compliant mayo (other than the aforementioned Tessamae). And even if you did, you do realize it will also have egg in it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The lemon juice sitting with the egg at room temperature for 30 minutes should make it safe. You can buy pasteurized eggs if that makes you feel safer. These are not pasture raised or even cage free. You can buy Mark Sissons new Primal Kitchen Mayo http://primalkitchen.com/products/mayo/which is compliant. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannieD Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You could always request for WholeFoods to carry the brand. They are eager to please their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe_J Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have pasteurized my own eggs when I felt a little "iffy" about them. It did not affect the consistency or taste of the mayo. It only takes a few minutes. I'm an old hand at it now, and I trust the acid in the vinegar or lemon juice to make my mayo safe. Besides, it's so good, it doesn't last long at our house.

angledge Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 OMG, I just tried Primal Kitchen's mayo for the first time. It is AMAZING. I made a quick sauce using the mayo as a base (lemon juice, finely minced garlic, salt, & pepper) & ate it on some baby asparagus. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpowers Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I was just reading the Whole30 book last night and some recipes called for Olive Oil Mayo as a base for things like ranch dressing... I took that as being compliant??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I was just reading the Whole30 book last night and some recipes called for Olive Oil Mayo as a base for things like ranch dressing... I took that as being compliant??? I'm pretty sure they're referring to homemade mayo, not the stuff labeled olive oil mayo in the grocery store - which usually has canola and/or soy in it anyway. I don't have my copy of ISWF handy, but in the new book it's called basic mayo and it's its own recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yep--homemade paleo mayo is fine, not the commercial olive oil mayo. Use extra light olive oil for your mayo--Extra Virgin Olive Oil is too strong. Just do a search for mayo recipes here on the forums and you will find many variations. I make ranch with my homemade mayo, thin it out with coconut milk and yum! I also do a southwestern version with tomato, chili powder (homemade), cilantro, a bit of jalapeno, soooooo good on taco salads! (for my mayo I use 1 whole egg and 1 yolk, 1 T lemon juice and 1 T raw apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp each sea salt and dry mustard. I sometimes also add a T of fermented pickle brine if I have it. I put all of those ingredients in my food processor and add 1/4 cup extra light olive oil and whirl together. I let sit till room temp--about 30 minutes, then I slowly drizzle in a cup of extra light olive oil and done! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I made the best mayo the other day- I subbed in 2T of roasted garlic olive oil in place of an equal amount of the regular extra light olive oil. Oh yummy yummy yum! Amazing how much flavor in 2T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kage Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Nope sorry. I just googled it and the main ingredient is Canola oil. It also contains sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2015 This is a brand they sell at my Whole Foods. Is it compliant? Hampton Creek, Just Mayo, Original, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Egg Free It also contains pea protein (a legume, not allowed) and modified vegetable starch which is generally corn based. The trick with all things Whole30 is to read the ingredients. If all the listed ingredients are compliant, the item is good to go. If not, such as in the case of this mayo product, it would be off limits for your Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiva Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If you are worried about the raw egg in homemade mayo, you can always try the microwave technique to sterilize the yolks in about a minute: with a fork, blend together 2 egg yolks, 2 T water, and 1 t lemon juice in a mason jar. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave about 45 seconds, until it bubbles. Beat with a second clean fork. Microwave, covered, 20 seconds. Beat with a third clean fork. Then proceed as normal for immersion blender mayo: add another T of lemon juice or vinegar, seasonings to taste (I like herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, a little mustard), and 1 cup of light olive oil (the extra virgin gets too bitter--the less flavor the better, oddly enough). Stick your immersion blender to the bottom, turn on high, and in about 30 seconds you will have perfect mayo. No drizzling of oil required. To be honest, I never bother sterilizing the egg--I just toss in a complete egg, straight from the fridge, and with the immersion blender it always makes perfect mayo. Herbs in it are great!
