The key is the technique โ€” add the oil drop by drop at first to build the emulsion, then in a thin stream. A stick blender makes this foolproof: put everything in a jar, immersion blend from the bottom up for 30 seconds, done. Serves Makes 300ml Prep 5 min Cook 0 min ### Ingredients - 2 egg yolks (room temperature) - 240ml light olive oil or avocado oil - 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh) - 1 tsp Dijon mustard - ยฝ tsp fine salt - Optional: 1 small garlic clove, grated ### Method 1. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, and salt to a tall narrow jar (a wide-mouth pint jar works perfectly). 2. Add all the oil on top โ€” do not stir. 3. Place the stick blender at the bottom of the jar over the egg yolks. Blend on high without moving for 20 seconds until white and thick. 4. Slowly lift the blender upward while continuing to blend, incorporating all the oil. Takes about 30 seconds total. 5. Taste and adjust salt and lemon. Refrigerate immediately. Keeps 1 week. 6. For garlic aioli: add grated garlic before blending. ## Why Standard Mayo Contains Seed Oils Standard mayonnaise โ€” Hellmann's, Best Foods, Duke's, Kraft โ€” uses soybean oil as the primary fat. Soybean oil is one of the eight industrial seed oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid. It makes up roughly 80โ€“90% of the mayo by volume, meaning a single tablespoon of standard mayo delivers a significant dose of oxidised polyunsaturated fat. Switching to avocado oil or olive oil mayo eliminates this entirely. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is Hellmann's mayo seed oil free? No. Hellmann's uses soybean oil as its primary ingredient. It is not seed oil free. ### Is Primal Kitchen mayo seed oil free? Yes. Primal Kitchen uses avocado oil. It is fully seed oil free and available at most major US grocery chains including Target, Whole Foods, and Costco. ### Can I use olive oil in mayo? Yes. Light olive oil (not extra virgin) works best โ€” EVOO has too strong a flavour and can turn bitter. Use 'light' or 'pure' olive oil for neutral-tasting mayo. ### How long does homemade seed oil free mayo last? 1 week refrigerated. It contains raw egg yolks, so keep it cold and use within 7 days. Commercial avocado oil mayo lasts much longer due to preservatives. ### Is avocado oil mayo healthier than regular mayo? Avocado oil mayo replaces omega-6-heavy soybean oil with oleic acid (monounsaturated fat) from avocados. It is more stable at room temperature and does not oxidise the way soybean oil does. Whether 'healthier' depends on your dietary framework, but from a seed oil free perspective it is the correct choice.
