- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Another excellent source of monounsaturated fats, olive oil boasts anti-inflammatory properties and is loaded with antioxidants.
Serving Suggestions

- Dip it Up: Pair it with fresh vegetables, keto-friendly crackers, or grilled chicken for a tasty and satisfying snack.
- Dress Your Salads: Use it as a base for creamy salad dressings. Add herbs, spices, or a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.

How to Make The Best Keto Mayonnaise
Yields: Approximately 30 ounces (42 servings) Prep time: 15 minutes Total time: 16 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (organic, free range is best)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 7 ounces macadamia oil
- 20 ounces of light extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional for thinning the mayonnaise)
Instructions:
- Combine & Blend: Place eggs and mustard in a food processor. Blend on medium for 3 minutes until smooth and well combined.
- Drizzle in Oils: With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the macadamia and olive oils. Take your time to avoid the mixture splitting.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend for a few more seconds to incorporate.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mayonnaise is too thick, add white vinegar one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Store: Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate. Your homemade keto mayonnaise will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
Tips & Tricks
- Room Temperature is Key: Ensure your eggs and oils are at room temperature for easier emulsification.
- Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Pour the oil into a thin, steady stream while the food processor is running. This prevents the mayonnaise from breaking.
- Emulsify Thoroughly: If your mayonnaise does split, don’t worry! You can fix it by starting a new batch with one egg yolk and slowly whisking in the split mixture.
