Mayonnaise is simply an irreplaceable sauce, but today the store-bought product pleases with its variety, but not with its composition. And if you don’t want to buy sauce with preservatives and flavorings, then a step-by-step recipe for mayonnaise at home using a blender will be a good way out for you.
During the Soviet era, manufacturers used only alcohol to store mayonnaise, but today they managed to “shove” so many preservatives into such a small bag of sauce that such a product can hardly be called high-quality. But with the help of a blender you can make safe and tasty mayonnaise in just a few minutes.
Many housewives are afraid to make mayonnaise due to the use of raw eggs. In such a situation, chicken eggs can be replaced with quail eggs.
Many of us observe fasting; as is known, on such days it is forbidden to use mayonnaise for dishes. And if you don’t want to dress your salads only with sunflower oil, then you can prepare a lean sauce.
Provencal sauce is a well-known dressing for various dishes. It can also be made at home without much difficulty.
As a rule, whole eggs or only yolks are used for homemade mayonnaise. But if you are interested in the version of PP mayonnaise, then you can get a healthy product based on milk and without eggs.
Homemade sauce recipes often contain mustard; it is this component that gives mayonnaise its piquant taste. For whipping, a ready-made product is most often used, but if you want to make a hotter sauce, it is better to use mustard powder.
If you don’t have lemon on hand, you can use regular table vinegar or natural vinegar instead to give the sauce a special taste.
Homemade mayonnaise at home can be stored for three days, but only in a closed container. The lean version of the sauce has a shelf life of up to five days.

Dear readers, it’s rare that any of us doesn’t use mayonnaise for dressing salads, appetizers and other dishes. And I'm no exception. I won’t say that mayonnaise is a frequent guest on our table, but nevertheless, we often use it on holidays.
The easiest way is to buy mayonnaise in the store. But let’s think about how much chemicals, preservatives there are in it, what products are used for its production? And why don't we make our own mayonnaise? Such mayonnaise will definitely be healthier, besides, we can choose the products for its preparation ourselves and vary the composition of the recipe, add something to our taste. Everything is simple, accessible and cheaper than in the store.
Today we will talk about how to make mayonnaise at home. Natalya Groznova will share her recipes on the pages of my blog. I give her the floor.
Good afternoon to all readers of Irina’s blog. Let's first look at history. The indispensable white sauce, mayonnaise, got its name from the capital of the Spanish island of Menorca - Mahon. The French Encyclopedia describes this historical event as follows. The French Duke Richelieu conquered Mahon in 1758. At that time, the team ran out of food supplies. The exceptions were olive oil and chicken eggs. Usually these ingredients were used to make omelettes, which the French officers were pretty tired of. Then Richelieu ordered the chef to diversify the menu and cook something new. The resourceful cook beat eggs with butter and seasoned the resulting mixture with salt and spices. Thus, the world-famous white sauce was born.
Today, mayonnaise is the most famous sauce in the whole world. It is widely used in modern cuisine. Skilled housewives have learned to prepare it themselves at home using a mixer or blender. The whipping process can be done with a regular hand whisk, it will just take more time.
And French sauce is prepared in very different ways. They make it with yolks, with whole eggs, vegan without eggs, with olive or vegetable oil, with spices and additives... In short, there are many variations, and we will look at some of them today.
It should be noted that homemade mayonnaise consists exclusively of natural products: oil, mustard, eggs, salt, vinegar. Obviously, there is nothing harmful in these products. Only mustard may raise doubts, but in small doses it improves digestion. Also, constant controversy arises due to vinegar, but to minimize its impact, you can use apple or balsamic vinegar.
Homemade mayonnaise made from fresh, high-quality and high-quality products is easily digestible and useful for absolutely everyone, including children. The only indisputable drawback of the product is its high calorie and fat content, so consuming it in large quantities is not recommended. A harmless everyday serving is 1 tbsp. l. in a day.
Ingredients
Preparation
To make mayonnaise at home, you will need a deep bowl, mixer, blender or hand whisk.
Break the egg into a bowl. Add mustard, salt, sugar. Take a mixer with cream whisks or a hand blender.
Beat the eggs until fluffy. Continuing to whisk, gradually pour in the olive oil in a thin stream. The mass should thicken and acquire the consistency of mayonnaise.
Classic homemade mayonnaise will never be snow-white like store-bought mayonnaise. Therefore, add lemon juice to the mixture. It will also add a slight piquant sourness.
Beat for another 15 seconds. Homemade mayonnaise is ready.
Store mayonnaise in a cool place in a closed container for no more than a week. If it contains additives, the shelf life is halved.
Ingredients
Preparation
Break the eggs. Separate the yolks, add mustard, salt and sugar to them. Beat the products with a mixer/blender until smooth. Gradually add olive oil.
As soon as the mixture begins to stick to the whisk, the mayonnaise is ready. The last step is to add apple cider vinegar.
Ingredients
Preparation
Place vegetable oil, chicken eggs, vinegar and salt in a blender bowl. Lower the blender attachment until it rests on the bottom and turn on the appliance. The blender blades will begin to beat the eggs, then pick up the oil, and the mixture will change color before your eyes. Continue the process until the mixture thickens evenly. Add salt to taste.
You can clearly see how to make healthy homemade mayonnaise by watching the video recipe from Hector Jimenez Bravo.
The taste of mayonnaise can be changed by adding all kinds of spices, herbs, herbs and products. Then it will turn out more interesting and unusual. For example, a favorite addition is chopped or pressed garlic. It will add piquancy and provide an excellent combination of mayonnaise with a crispy baguette and meat.
Chopped parsley, cilantro and basil are no less popular. This sauce is suitable for fish dishes. Finely chopped olives or pickled cucumbers add a southern touch that pairs with potato dishes. Grated cheese harmonizes with vegetables, and lemon zest with fish and seafood.
Some recipes contain cumin, coriander, cumin, various peppers, tarragon, herbs de Provence, gherkins, capers, horseradish, paprika, etc.
Additives enrich the taste of mayonnaise and add new flavor tones. Experiment with different ingredients, and many combinations will unexpectedly surprise you with their originality and sophistication.
In addition to adding flavoring additives, mayonnaise is made colored for aesthetic reasons. How to add color to mayonnaise, make it bright and unusual? So, the sauce will be bright with boiled grated beets. Curry will give a delicate sunny color, asparagus or spinach will give a green tint, boiled chopped carrots will give an orange tint.
So the article has come to an end. If you have any questions, ask in the comments. I will always be happy to answer them.
I think many housewives have at least once thought about how to make homemade mayonnaise so that it tastes no worse than store-bought mayonnaise. Some may have tried to make mayonnaise at home, but it didn’t work out, it didn’t whip up, it separated, or something else happened to it. In general, today I will write a recipe for making homemade mayonnaise, which always works! And it not only turns out to be the right consistency, it turns out very tasty.
Preparing this mayonnaise takes only 5 minutes (this time includes preparing the products). That is, making mayonnaise yourself is faster than going to the store. But to make mayonnaise, you need to make it with an immersion blender. In this case there will be a 100% result! If you prepare mayonnaise with a mixer or a whisk, you need to use other recipes. But not everything is so simple with them, you need to pour the oil very carefully, you need to beat for a long time, you need to take the ingredients at the same temperature and it still may not work.
In general, take an immersion blender, a bowl (or a jar - not a wide dish) and read on to find out what ingredients you need. I will write two recipes for homemade mayonnaise: with egg and with milk.
Remember that homemade mayonnaise does not last long because it contains raw eggs (shelf life - 2 days, maybe 3). Mayonnaise made with milk can be stored a little longer and given to children.
Make mayonnaise in the amount indicated in the recipe. If you need more mayonnaise, make it again. Use one egg at a time, so you get a guarantee that everything will work out. Eggs for mayonnaise should be taken as fresh as possible. You can buy ready-made mustard. But if you want to get the most natural product, make your own mustard from powder.
You can put any acid - lemon juice, vinegar (table or fruit). Take only refined oil so that it is odorless. If the oil is unrefined, the mayonnaise will taste like oil, which is not very pleasant. Add a little salt, sugar, mustard and acid first. Then taste it and add the ingredient you are missing. This way you get a delicious “Provencal” mayonnaise, but natural.
Method for preparing mayonnaise using a blender.
1. Break an egg into a narrow blender bowl (you can take a jar). An important nuance - the yolk must be whole and not float.
Many people say that the egg should be at room temperature, as should all the ingredients, so that they mix more easily. You can take the egg out of the refrigerator in advance to be on the safe side. I usually take an egg from the refrigerator and everything works out.
2. Pour vegetable oil into the yolk, add mustard, salt, sugar, lemon juice or vinegar. In this recipe, all ingredients are added at once; no gradual additions are necessary. The only thing is that after cooking you can add acid or salt with sugar to your taste and beat again.
3. Now take an immersion blender and cover the yolk with it. Press the blender into the bottom of the bowl.
4. Turn on the blender at maximum speed and blend for the first 10 seconds without lifting the attachment from the bottom of the bowl.
5. The yolk will begin to emulsify with the oil, and white mayonnaise will begin to appear from the holes in the nozzle!
6. Then, after holding the attachment near the bottom for 10 seconds, begin whisking the mayonnaise in an up and down motion as usual. The oil will be mixed in small portions with the yolk and you will get real mayonnaise.
7. Beat for 1-1.5 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust if necessary and mix everything again. That's all! Quickly and without hassle, you get real homemade mayonnaise, thick and tasty.
Make mayonnaise according to this recipe and you will succeed.
If you are not sure about the quality and freshness of eggs or there are children in the house who will eat salads with mayonnaise, prepare this sauce with milk. In this case, it will be stored longer than mayonnaise with egg.
Important! The milk for this recipe must be at room temperature. Cold milk will not make mayonnaise. Natural milk without herbal additives will also froth better.
The ratio of milk to vegetable oil should be 1 to 2. Add the amount of salt, sugar, mustard, vinegar to your taste.
Ingredients:
Method for preparing mayonnaise with milk.
1. Pour milk and vegetable oil into a jar or blender bowl. Pour it all at once, not in portions. You need to beat this mayonnaise, like the previous one, with a submersible blender. Beat near the bottom for a few seconds first, then beat in a smooth motion from top to bottom.
2. When the whole mass is whipped (about 1 minute), add all the flavoring additives to the mayonnaise: mustard, salt, sugar, vinegar. Beat again. The mayonnaise should be thick. Taste the sauce and add missing flavor elements if necessary.
3. Now the mayonnaise is ready. If desired, you can add natural sugar-free yogurt (150 g) to it. This will reduce the calorie content and make the mayonnaise lighter.
4. The finished mayonnaise turns out like real Provencal. Very tasty and natural. To give mayonnaise a new flavor note, add garlic squeezed through a press, chopped herbs, capers or your favorite spices.
This mayonnaise is suitable for dressing salads. When heated (baked), it will separate.
This is the most famous sauce, without which many dishes cannot do. And if you prepare it yourself, the sauce will turn out much tastier and without harmful additives. Today we will share with you how to make mayonnaise at home.
This sauce is very similar to the classic version in consistency and color.
This is a dietary recipe, so it will appeal to those who are watching their weight.

I thank Natalia for the homemade mayonnaise recipes. We all, to one degree or another, care that our diet is healthy and wholesome, and the recipes and tips offered will help with this in the best possible way.
And finally, I suggest you listen to a wonderful song performed by Mireille Mathieu — Pardone moi .
Mayonnaise with mustard gives dishes a special piquancy and richness. Thanks for the recipe
I also discovered homemade mayonnaise made with olive oil. And if you add garlic and herbs, you get such a delicious sauce!
I don't make mayonnaise with eggs - who knows. Instead, I whip milk with butter - it tastes almost the same, but is safer.
The presence of raw eggs in homemade mayonnaise always bothers me; I’m never sure that they are not contaminated with salmonella. I would replace chicken eggs with quail eggs
Good advice, Vilia. I am for.
Thank you, Irina. I also haven’t bought store-bought mayonnaise for a long time. I'm making my own at home.
Homemade mayonnaise is definitely healthier than store-bought mayonnaise. It contains no preservatives or dyes. And you can do it quickly. Thanks for the recipe.
I also prefer homemade mayonnaise. I have a classic recipe, according to which I used to make a recipe, it was so “dreary,” but now I make it with a blender in 2-3 minutes, and it is no different from the one I made before.
