If you have never made homemade mayo it is really easy and delicious. Also you may run out of mayonaise but will probably have eggs, oil and vinegar on hand. That is actually how I first got into it. One of those late night dinners and no mayonaise. I knew I had seen a recipe in my Natural Beauty at Home book. Even though that author uses it for a hair treatment it makes a great mayo.

Beautiful (Beauty) Mayo

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cups apple cider vinegar

A blender or food processor really helps in this recipe. In a blender, mix 1/4 cup oil, salt and egg. With the blender on, slowly pour another 1/4 cup of oil, in a very thin stream, into whirling mixture. Keep the blender mixing. Slowly pour into the whirling mixture half of the vinegar in a slow steady stream. Keep the blender mixing. Slowly pour into the mixture another 1/4 cup of oil followed by the rest of the vinegar. Continue blending.

Slowly add the rest of the oil. You should now have a thick, white, creamy mayonnaise (sets up more the frig).

The first time I made this I kept running back and forth between the recipe book and blender. But now it is much easier. I am really into having a few staples on hand that you can use to make a lot of different dishes. It keeps expenses down, and saves on storage and feels great knowing that you made something most people have to buy.
