The Best Homemade Mayonnaise Without Mustard (2024)

This Homemade Mayonnaise Without Mustard recipe is super delicious, quick, and easy to make. It is the perfect alternative to any usual store-bought mayo in the supermarket. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, grilled chicken, and any type of meat you want! It has the perfect texture and creaminess, thick and not liquidy mayo!

let me tell you something about myself! I am not that guy that puts mayo on anything edible, and I'm not that guy that loves any kind of mayonnaise! I'm a little picky about my condiments and that's why I exclusively used a French-made mayo called Lesieur until I developed this recipe after several tries and failures.

I wanted my mayonnaise to be as close as possible to that French-made mayonnaise I have been eating since I was a little girl. So my conditions were it has to be thick in consistency and not runny mayo, it must include only a few ingredients, and of course tasty!

🧾 Ingredients to make this Homemade Mayonnaise

This is a homemade mayonnaise without mustard, Mustard gives a little bit of heat to the mayo, and I don't like that! if you do like it feel free to add some tablespoons to the recipe!

This is an overview of the ingredients needed to make this homemade mayonnaise, The whole list and instructions are in the recipe card below!

Mayonnaise is made using basic ingredients that you probably already have in your home. You will require the following items:

• Eggs: There is no mayonnaise without eggs, so this is the minimum requirement to make a good mayo! In this recipe, I used a whole egg (yolks + whites)
• Oil: In the original Lesieur's recipe they used vegetable oils such as colza oil, canola oil,.. etc. but in mine, I'm going to use the oil that is available in every staple house, the sunflower oil. In addition to this, I like the neutral flavor of this oil over any other flavored oil!
• Vinegar or lemon juice: A little acid, such as apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, or lemon juice, not only adds a fantastic taste to the mayonnaise but also helps to stabilize the mixture. personally is used and still uses the white vinegar!
• Salt: Just add a pinch of salt for flavor and that's it.

👩🏻‍🍳 How to make Homemade Mayonnaise

It's worth mentioning that there are several methods for making homemade mayonnaise. The procedures will be the same whether you use a blender bowl/jug, a small food processor, or an immersion blender. As is my personal choice, I made this mayo with an immersion blender.

Note: Although I've heard that ingredients should be used at room temperature, I've tested both chilled and room temperature eggs and haven't really noticed much of a difference.

1. Combine the ingredients: You can start by adding the whole egg into a small bowl, alongside salt, oil, and a little bit of vinegar! let's mention that some people prefer adding salt til the end of the process, I've tried both methods and haven't seen any difference, so you are free to season your mayo whenever you want.
2. Blend: Plunge your immersion blender into the bottom of the bowl or the jar, and mix at low speed in pulsations (1 sec pulses). Do this 3 to 5 times and also move your immersion blender head in an up-and-down movement, this will ensure all the oil will be mixed into the egg.
3. Blend until thickened: As you keep mixing you'll notice that the mayo starts thickening at that moment if you want your mayo to be super thick ( like cheesy thick) you can add ⅓ cup of oil but if you prefer the initial texture, stick with the recipe!
4. Season: Taste your mayonnaise, and adjust the seasoning to your liking! some people add mustard and black pepper to their mayo! but this is an original mayonnaise that doesn't contain any of that! so let's keep things simple.
5. Refrigerate: Scoop your mayonnaise into a small glass box and air-tight it, transfer it to the fridge, and let it chill for a moment! I like my mayonnaise to be chill and firm!

💭 Tips for making homemade mayonnaise

Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the best homemade mayonnaise:

• For best results, you are going to need to use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients are the most important thing in having a good mayonnaise, Fresh eggs, fresh olive oil, good quality vinegar,..etc
• Use room-temperature eggs to get the best results for your mayo, otherwise, it will not emulsify.
• Some people (majority of them) prefer to add the oil in the last step of the process, BUT I've found out that it doesn't really matter when you add the oil, I prefer to add everything at the start and just add a little bit of oil to thicken the mayo as I wish to.
• I prefer to use tight jars or bowls, this helps emulsify your ingredients much better than using large bowls. Try to use the jar that comes with your immersion blender if you have that attachment.
