Also pickles … Oh, I’m getting excited about ideas, what you have to know is that you can play with the flavors and ingredients that you like the most.
When choosing the oil for this homemade mayonnaise, you must take into account your tastes purely and exclusively.

5 tips for the perfect mayonnaise
if you follow these tips you will break it!
Homemade mayonnaise is very simple to make, but it does have its little tricks. If you take them into account, you will be the king or queen of dressings!
- Use the egg at room temperature . If you had it in the fridge (as it should be, please do not store the eggs in any other place than there, ok?) You have to take them out at least an hour before making the mayonnaise. It will turn out better!
- Use a narrow container , where the mixer fits just right. You can use the glass that comes with the minipimer, it is ideal for this.
- Pour the oil in the form of a thread while beating, this will facilitate the emulsion and will not cut it. If it is difficult for you to do it with one hand and hold the mixer with the other or ask someone to help you … Dear, we are all going to enjoy this sauce so let’s get to work!
- This trick is the definitive one, you can ignore me in the rest but in this one you have to read me ok? Are you reading me carefully? Okay. Here we go: you have to insert the mixer to the bottom of the container, turn it on and leave it completely still .
- Only when it has emulsified can it be moved with the mixer to integrate everything and beat again. This also works to incorporate a bit of air into the mix and make it a little lighter and more full-bodied.
Without further ado, let’s go with the infallible recipe for homemade mayonnaise. If you paid attention to me and follow these tricks, you will not buy industrial mayonnaise again in your life. That I assure you!
