Anything that is homemade. Most have soybean oil, and canola oil which is pretty nasty stuff. Try Googling them. :/

Trader Joe's Organic Mayonnaise.

DiamondDeb · 08-27-2009, 10:19 PM

I can't recommend any store brands I've seen in stores. They all contain not so good ingredients/oils. Some advertise that they contain olive oil but they are mostly other oils that I don't want to consume.

I am out of mayo and won't have any again until I get motivated enough to make my own. It's easy to make but finding the right ingredients to taste the way I want is a challenge so I'm procrastinating.

Leo41 · 08-28-2009, 04:40 AM

Since I started making my own, I'll never purchase mayo again. I love being in control of the ingredients.

I like Trader Joes, have also used Spectrum.

This modified recipe is soooo easy!!

Leanne’s Best Mayo
(Tastes Pretty Close to Hellmann’s!)

3 egg yolks
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
Scant amount of stevia
½ tsp. sea salt
1 cup rice bran oil
2 Tbsp. whey

• Place egg yolks, lemon juice, ACV, sweetener, salt, and whey into a wide-mouthed mason jar.
• Top with oil and let the oil rise.
• Place the immersion blender on the bottom of the jar and pulse on and off, keeping the blender on the bottom, until mixture starts to emulsify.
• Then slowly, start to move the blender around, and then up and down, slowly, until completely emulsified.
• Put lid on, and let it sit out on the counter for 8 hours before storing in refrigerator.

TY, I looked all over the net for their ingredients. It has soy, even being organic, it messes with my estrogen/body/etc. Dang.

meb2004 · 08-31-2009, 08:21 AM

rottinluv, have you tried other oils in that recipe and do they still taste good? i've got some really tasty high quality olive oil i've been wanting to use to make mayo, might try this recipe it looks really simple

rottinluv · 09-01-2009, 10:47 PM

I have not tried any other types of oil. I've heard that pure olive oil mayo tastes nasty, coconut oil solidifies, and I try to stay away from all other veggie oils.

Sorry!

lighterbeing · 09-02-2009, 05:26 AM

I did see a Safflower Oil Mayo the other day at the HFS. I am using Trader Joes at present, would love to find one without soybean oil also. Do you think the oil affects hormones like the actual soy products do? I have not done any research on the matter. But I do pick organic oils whenever possible. I love mayo and do not think I would like an olive oil one....

Leo41 · 09-02-2009, 06:28 AM

I use olive oil when I make my mayo, and I heard that the LIGHT EVOO is what to use. I don't find that it gives an olive oil "taste" to the mayo at all. I love it.

I always used light olive oil when making mayo & never had a problem with the taste because of it.

I have some lemon infused EVOO & I keep thinking it would make some good mayo but it was pricey & I've only been using it for my salad dressing.

BikerAng · 09-05-2009, 11:32 AM

I'm going to try rice bran oil today for making mayo (per Fawn's suggestion). I love rice bran oil for cooking, and most things I use mayo in I also usually end up cooking. I'll report back on the texture/taste.

I just ordered it. Haven't been able to find it locally. Ordered some more Macadamia nut oil also. That is good stuff but not good for mayo as it lends a toasted nut taste to the mayo.

LMAO! I just ordered rice bran oil off of Amazon for a great deal. They sell half-gallons on there. I bet since it's fall, we must be on the same mayo-craving bandwagon.

1/2 gallons!! I have to go check it out. How was shipping on 1/2 gallon? Ok, I went to their website. It is $10 for 1/2 gallon and $10 shipping. I paid $6 for 16oz. There was a flat rate shipping of $4 but I had a couple of other items. That is a good price.

Yeah, but 1/2 gallon is like 128 oz, and it pays to buy in bulk. So, even $20.00 shipped is pretty darn good.

Darkfire · 09-06-2009, 10:42 AM

I am about ready to try again. After my failures in EVOO and VCO mayo. I found out rice bran oil is AOK for Celiacs.....I might order some soon.

I found some organic Rice Bran oil at MOMS organic market today. I will report back with pics if I like the stuff. I was busy making sour kraut and cabbage rejuvalac, hummus, quinoa tabbouleh and chicken or I'd have done it tonight.

I will be making pesto tomorrow so this will fit in nicely.

Just to reiterate: Coconut oil was good but way to heavy. It was a hard mess in the fridge the next day. Caused die off symptoms in me bigtime. WAY too much VCO at once. EVOO was a disaster. Nasty.

BikerAng · 09-08-2009, 11:02 AM

I made rice bran oil mayo yesterday and it turned out great (I also bought mine from Amazon, LOL!)! I really like rice bran oil, I think it's really light and doesn't impart a strong flavor. I had tuna salad and it was great! Store bought can't compare with homemade IMO.

Oh man, I am getting all giddy about it now. I used to eat mayo w/EVERYTHING! So, it's been hard as heck not having any whatsoever.

I use half of each, which works out great. It takes me maybe 5 minutes to make mayo.

I put 1 whole egg and one yolk in a pint-sized jar and let come to room temperature. then add 1 TB lemon juice, 1 TB whey (I grab this off the top of yogurt), 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp dry mustard, pinch of sea salt.

In a glass measuring cup, I mix 1/2 cup expeller-pressed coconut oil (melted) and 1/2 cup virgin olive oil.

Then put a stick blender in the jar, pulse for about 10 seconds, and start dripping the oil dropwise until about a quarter cup has been emulsified. Then pour in a stream until it's all emulsified.

Cover and leave overnight, then refrigerate.

BikerAng · 09-09-2009, 10:32 AM

I have made mayo with a mixture of both EVOO and coconut oil and it tasted awful to me (and it got super thick in the fridge - I also used whey in that version). I have also used the oil combo Mary Enig suggests - that tasted funky too. Just plain EVOO mayo turns super bitter. I've tried multiple times with different brands (thinking the oil may have been rancid). I also tried whisking it by hand instead of in the food processor (read that could cause it to be bitter). I just don't think EVOO makes a good mayo, IMO. I tried just straight coconut oil, again, tasted funky (but I used virgin) and it got really hard in the fridge. The rice bran oil has produced the best mayo for me yet (other than the rancid flavorless veg oils you can buy in the grocery store) regarding flavor and spreadability - and it may be cooked with.

I agree. That is a great price. As soon as mine gets here, I'm making mayo. Sandy on the EFGT thread made ranch dressing with Hidden Valley and added 1 ripe avocado to it and made avocado ranch!! Take about good fat! I need to read the HVR packet. If it is too offensive, I'll see if WF has an alternative.

Ooh girl, that sounds SO good! I used to love Chile's avocado ranch. Of course I don't eat there anymore. I got my oil the other day, and I was able to do my mayo today. It's setting in the fridge now, I have high hopes for this mayo batch.

The only thing I am weary of is my oil mono is 6.2, and poly is 5.3. It's almost even. I wonder if that is a bad thing?

That is why I liked the profile of macadamia nut oil. 2g sat, 0.7 g poly, 11g mono but it made the mayo too nutty.
