This creamy Paleo Whole30 Mayo comes together quickly and tastes so much better than store bought. This will become your new favorite.
*Pictures updated 1/18, content is the same. Mayo in pictures is a double batch.
I know this recipe is super simple and super basic, but it’s such a good one to have. There are so many different variations you can do with it and I use it to make ranch dip (recipe coming soon). Now that I’ve made it, I’ll never buy it again. Not only can I control the ingredients that way, but the flavor is no comparison. So fresh, thick, and creamy. I always have some on hand to make a quick chicken or tuna salad.
It comes together so fast. Like, less than two minutes. It is very important to have all your ingredients at room temperature. I usually set the egg out the night before I plan on making it. If you forget, a handy tip is to fill a bowl with hot tap water and place the egg in it for 5 minutes. It will become room temperature that way.
I like to use a wide mouth mason jar and immersion blender. Those things are so affordable and so useful. I have the most success with that opposed to a regular blender. It is possible that way too though if that’s what you have.
Here are all the ingredients. So simple!
Put your egg, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in the jar.
Blend until combined. It will take just a few seconds.
Then slowly drizzle oil in with the blender on until all oil is poured in. I couldn’t take a picture of that because I only have two hands. 🙂 Move the blender up and down in the jar until it starts to thicken. You will also hear the motor change from a fast high pitch to a low slower sound.
Perfect!! So there you have it. In just a couple minutes you can make the best mayo of your life.
Make it, love it, spread it on everything!

India says
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I used apple cider vinegar because that’s what I had in the cabinet. My mayo could stand to be a smidge thicker. Should I have blended it longer? The flavor is on point!
Jessica DeMay says
You’re welcome, India! Yeah, it sounds like it could have been blended a little longer, but you also don’t want to over blend it or it can separate. Once mines blended I usually do one more up and down in the jar just to make sure it’s thick. Thanks for trying my recipe- I’m so glad you like it!
Annie says
I’m sorry. This recipe is a fail in the ability to thicken up properly.
NEXT….
Btw, I enjoy your other recipes. This one, not so much.
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Annie- sorry this didn’t turn out for you. Did you follow the recipe exactly, slowly drizzling the oil? This has worked for so many people so I do know it works. I’m glad you enjoy my other recipes.
Kristin Pettibon says
I have made this recipe 20+ times with no issue. But the last two times I’ve tried making this, it has failed. It has been very runny. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I’m doing exactly what it says to do and exactly what I’ve done in the past.
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Kristin- I’m sorry about that. I’m not sure what it could be. Since you’ve had success in the past, I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. Was everything room temperature? Did you use the same kind of eggs and oil? I hope you try it again and have success.
Daneille says
This worked great! And it does taste better than store-bought…not that I usually taste mayo by itself. Thanks for the recipe
Jessica DeMay says
You’re welcome, Daneille! Thanks for trying it and for the great feedback! So glad you like it!
