Naturally gluten free, paleo, sugar-free, nut-free, dairy-free, and a great replacement for sour cream or ranch dip! Add a little more oil (and a splash of lemon) and it can even serve as a quick, last-minute salad dressing!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole egg
  • 2 *egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp *organic Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves Fresh garlic
  • 1 drop Young Living Dill or Rosemary Vitality essential oil
  • 1-2 drops **Young Living Lemon Vitality essential oil
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 Fresh Jalapeño (optional)
  • 1 cup Avocado oil (I don't recommend olive oil, since it gives a distinct "olive" taste)
  • 1 bundle Fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 Shallot

Instructions
 

  • Pulse veggies, garlic, and herbs in food processor.
  • Add the eggs, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and puree.
  • (If you want this to taste more like “regular” mayonnaise, leave out the cilantro, jalapeno, and herb oils)
  • Then, with the food processor running on a low speed, start adding your oil very, very slowly in a very thin, slow stream. If your food processor has an insert with a tiny, pin sized hole in it, you can use this to pour your oil into. This will allow the oil to be added in a thin, even stream so that it is incorporated into the creamy mixture.
  • Continue blending until all the oil is added.
  • Add essential oils after transferring mayonnaise to a glass or stainless steel bowl (otherwise your food processor will smell like essential oils for a while).
  • Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 10-14 days.
  • Optional – along with the essential oils, 1 T. whey may help your mayo to last longer, but mine gets gobbled up, so I don’t worry about it.

Notes

*I would not use this recipe if I didn’t have access to farm fresh, free-ranged chickens from a source I trust. I cannot recommend consuming raw eggs from the grocery store. Besides, free-range eggs are more nutritious and taste way better anyway! Find a source!
**I only recommend using premium Young Living Vitality Essential Oils in this recipe, since they are pure enough to be ingested, and lower quality oils may be toxic.
