MelissaBlack Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sooooooo I made an incredibly beautiful batch of mayo. There is just one minor problem....... Not such a fan of the taste. Has anyone else experienced this nd if so do you become accustomed? I am a big hellmans fan (or was). Made some chicken salad with the homemade mayo and it just didn't taste quite right. As always, insight is welcome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Did you use the light olive oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberrantatavia Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Depending on what taste you are looking for, you can adapt the recipe in lots of ways. Was it too strong, too blend, too salty, it enough? Needs a little flavor? I find that my mayo only comes out perfect if I use light olive oil and pastured eggs. What recipe did you use?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2012 I have come to prefer curry to mustard powder when making mayo. I actually used mustard powder recently and thought my mayo was too bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon and macadamia nut oil instead of olive oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellojosie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I primarily use my homemade mayo as a base for dressings or in mayo-based salads (like chicken salad, tuna salad, &c) so I season it a lot before I use it and don't notice the specific mayo-y taste. I make the batch plain and season according to my use. Curry powder is GREAT (curried chicken salad!!!), herbs de provence, mustard, &c are all great additions!

Quiche4u Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I made a batch today and used the recipe from Nom Nom Paleo iPad app. 1 hippie chickies egg yolk 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard ( I use Annie's organic - there's no white wine in it ) 1 1/2 tsp of lemon juice 1 tsp white vinegar 3/4 cup of either macadamia oil or avacado oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttoni Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We've gotten to where we love the taste of the spice blend in this mayo so much, it's about the only way I make my mayo anymore. It's good on EVERYTHING, from cauliflower, broccoli, to chicken or fish! You might like to try this sometime. http://buttoni.wordp...salad-dressing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
