Great Foundation
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

No recipe is the ideal recipe for everyone. This one is a better foundation for me than the others I've tried so far. Most... recipes call for a ratio of 1 egg to 1 cup of oil. I like this recipe better because the additional egg makes for a thicker mayo. I'll tweek the mustard, salt, and lemon juice to get the tartness I want and to reduce the mustard taste. I didn't care for using the blender. My blender doesn't have a slow enough setting to do the job right. Next time I'll do a larger batch and use my stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Read more

Great mayo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried a couple of mayo recipes and none of them worked out. This one worked perfect the first time and the best part is... because it's so easy it's a snap to modify to your specific taste. Thank You PaulaRead more

Try this if you haven't ever had Home-made!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is what mayo should be like.. If you try it you will see that Home-made beats any of the storebought brands hands... down.Good enough to spread on plain old crackers and eat in front of the TV!!.I like to add a bit of minced garlic(or garlic powder) to mine. a few drops of tabasco is nice in there,too.Read more

Not a Mayo Lover...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I do not like mayonnaise but use it when called for in such edible things as chicken salad and tuna fish... But today I... wanted chicken salad and had no mayonnaise or transportation to the store... so I looked on line for a recipe for mayonnaise and came across this one because it was listed as easy and hey, who don't love "easy". I tried this recipe and it came out good... "need tweaking in some taste areas". I used a cheap mini food chopper and it came together in matter of seconds. The person that stated it didn't work for them must have miss measured somewhere and didn't notice, because if you followed the recipe it should have came out right. Oh... I gave it 4 stars because I didn't like the mustard part being added but it is a great recipe.Read more

Easy and Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never made mayonnaise from scratch before. I made it in a blender and at first didn't think it was coming together,... but just wait a little longer and it did. Very nice flavor. I used canola oil and dijon mustard. I will make this again, no preservatives and it was quick. Thanks Paula!Read more

Easy and tastes great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fantastic mayo. I made mine with spicy brown mustard and it had excellent flavor and good color. This is a mayo that adds to... any sandwich or burger. Try it - all you need is 10 minutes!Read more
