The Easiest Blender Mayonnaise

Making your own mayonnaise using a blender is so easy and quick. You will need only a handful of ingredients and a couple of minutes! No more store bought mayonnaise full off additives!

My husband LOVES mayonnaise. Before I met him, I had no idea someone could love mayonnaise that much. I never even had any in my fridge! But now there's almost always a batch of homemade mayonnaise in our fridge because it's just SO easy to make and it literally only takes a few minutes.

If you've never made your own mayonnaise, this is the perfect recipe to show you how fast and easy it is. All you need is a hand-held blender stick, a measuring jug and a handful of pantry / fridge staples that you will definitely have at home. If you don't have Dijon mustard (which we ALWAYS have to have in our fridge because it's my absolute favourite mustard) you can also use another kind of mustard. It is however better to use one that is stronger in flavour and not too mild.

Once you've added all your mayonnaise ingredients to the measuring jug, you just blend until your mayonnaise starts to form. Which will take about 5 seconds. The whole process of making your own mayonnaise is about 2 minutes. No more buying mayonnaise at the store with lots of added ingredients that nobody needs. This is the real thing!

Now this mayonnaise is catered to my husband's taste. He loves the South African mayonnaise from Crosse & Blackwell and that is quite a tangy mayonnaise. The German mayonnaise is rather sweet and he never found one he liked. So I came up with this recipe for him. Hence the amount of white vinegar that I used in the making of this mayonnaise. If you prefer a less tangy version, just reduce or omit the vinegar. No problem.

Have you made blender mayonnaise before? If you're feeling like a sauce with EVEN more flavour, how about you try my Roasted Pepper and Garlic Mayonnaise?
