How To Make Low-Calorie Mayonnaise At Home
One tablespoon of the following low-calorie homemade mayonnaise recipe consists of only 88 calories so don’t be afraid to add it to your salads or use it as a sandwich spread daily. You can also use avocado oil or macadamia oil as substitutes if you like.
Ingredients for 3 servings
- 1 large egg yolk
- 5 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt to taste
Preparation:
Set all of your ingredients aside until they reach room temperature. Separate your egg white from your egg yolk and set it aside as well. Put the egg yolk into a bowl along with the Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Mix it until it is combined very well.
Get a hand whisk ready and begin pouring in your oil, make sure to add your oil in little by little while whisking. I highly recommend an electric hand whisker to prepare this recipe for better results. Make sure to continue whisking the mixture until you get a mayonnaise consistency.
Next, add in the lemon juice, salt, and the rest of your vinegar and continue whisking, if the mixture is too thick, you can add in a few drops of water or oil. Note: Your mayonnaise might become a little yellow in color. Store your mayonnaise in a well-sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
