smerlitz Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hello, So I made the mayo and realized after the fact that I didn't use light olive oil so needless to say the taste is off. Does anyone have any ideas for how to counter that, I don't want to waste the whole batch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Cat Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Add some crushed garlic or another bold flavour, like compliant hot sauce. Or make a second batch using light olive oil and then combine them (do a little sample first). Just suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Sometimes it's hard to overcome as it's a bitter flavor. If you find you can't cover it up, you can use it to add creaminess in cooked dishes that would be suitable for added EVOO (you can freeze it in icecube trays for this purpose but it won't defrost into mayo).

init2winit Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes, I grabbed the wrong bottle in my pantry and didn't realize it until it was too late. I used my EVOO mayo in my tuna salad because, like you, I did not want to throw out the entire batch. It worked well with the tuna. I didn't try it with anything else but finished it up in a couple weeks. I eat a lot of canned tuna at work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 My mayo didn't get thick. Was this just because my egg was cold? I used it for Cole slaw yesterday but today it had separated. Encouraging words needed, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2016 My mayo didn't get thick. Was this just because my egg was cold? I used it for Cole slaw yesterday but today it had separated. Encouraging words needed, please. This has been discussed extensively (putting it mildly) on the forums. The best way to search is to use google. In your case you would google 'whole30 mayo fail' and you'll get loads of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen_Suep Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Find a compliant Mediterranean spice blend and use it as a veggie dip or base for chicken/tuna salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
