We are removing processed foods from our diet so one of our experiments has been in making our own mayonnaise. This took a few tries to perfect the recipe to get it just right.

Ingredients:

• 2 whole eggs
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 TBS lemon juice
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions:

Recycled pickle jar does wonders for mayonnaise.

1. Place the eggs, mustard, paprika, pepper, salt, and lemon juice into a blender. Blend on high speed until combined. 
2. Slowly drizzle in the oil with the blender running.
3. Once the oil has been mixed in well, scrape the mayonnaise into a bowl, and adjust the seasonings to taste. 
4. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days, just as a note you can cut the recipe in half if you don’t think you will use it all up in 3 days or share with friends.
