Mayonnaise is one of those essential condiments used in numerous ways. But did you know that homemade mayo is ridiculously easy to make at home?!
Truth be told, mayo was one of the first recipes I learned how to make when I was beginning to look at ingredients and the foods I was consuming. This was over a decade ago and mayos made with avocado oil and olive oils weren’t really a thing.

Even though times have changed and there are more brands out there at the store, I still always fall back on this recipe. And once you make it, I know you will feel the same.
