Ingredients
-
4 teaspoons ground flax seed (I use golden flaxseed, for a better colored mayo).
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup mild flavored cold pressed oil
(Optional - including a tablespoon or two of flaxseed oil in the cup of oil helps to improve the omega 6/3 balance).
Directions
In a wide mouth pint size jar mix together:
4 teaspoons ground flax seed (I use golden flaxseed, for a better colored mayo).
3 tablespoons water
Let sit for at least 10 minutes to get "eggy"
Then add:
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Now take your immersion blender and insert it all the way in, down to the bottom of the jar. Turn it on, and give it a few seconds to blend the flax seed mixture, and seasonings.
Now, keep the blender running with one hand. Have the jar on the table or counter, and with your other hand slowly pour in 1 cup mild flavored cold pressed oil (Optional - including a tablespoon or two of flaxseed oil in the cup of oil helps to improve the omega 6/3 balance).
The book that I adapted this recipe from says that you want to pour in a stream of oil about the diameter of a pencil lead but I actually just pour in a little and blend, and pour in a little more and blend. Work the blender up and down in the jar as you go.
Also the book says "When you can't get any more oil to incorporate, and it is puddling on the surface, stop! You're done. Any leftover oil can go back in the bottle." However I just use the whole cup of oil. Cap your jar of flaxseed mayo and store it in the fridge.
Now, since you aren't using eggs, I think this will keep longer than regular homemade mayo, but I'm not sure how long. I've kept it for several weeks without any ill effect, although I've found as it gets older, the oil tends to separate out, but it won't make you sick.
Serving Size: Makes about 1-1/4 cups total. Serving size is 1 tablespoon.
