Since our family switched to eating real food in January, we have started to make many things from scratch. One of the staples my husband loves is homemade garlic mayonnaise. Homemade garlic mayo is quite easy to make and only uses a few ingredients.

PRINTABLE RECIPE AT BOTTOM OF POST
Since getting a Vitamix, we have been making different variations of mayo and this latest homemade garlic mayo was a huge success.
It is a great addition to a sandwich and boasts full garlic flavor. We like using lemon or lime essential oil in this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 extra large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cloves of garlic, pealed
- 2 Tbsp lime (or lemon) juice OR 1 drop of lime (or lemon) doTERRA essential oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup olive oil (we used Arbosana olive oil purchased from Prairie Oils and Vinegars)
DIRECTIONS
- Place the eggs, egg yolks, garlic cloves, lime (or lemon) juice and salt in the Vitamix. Start blending on low and work your way up to high speed and continue blending for about 15 seconds or until the garlic is completely blended in.
- Turn the Vitamix speed down to number 7 or 8 on the dial.
- While it is blending, remove the lid plug and slowly pour the olive oil through the lid plug opening until the oil is all added and the mayo begins to thicken up (about 30 seconds).
- Pour the mayo into a mason jar and put in the fridge – it will last for 3-4 weeks.

Note: If you have trouble because there is not enough liquid to blend up the eggs/garlic you may have to increase the amounts or double the recipe depending on the size of the blender jar. I used the 32 oz Vitamix blender jar for this recipe.
Did you know that April 19th is National Garlic Day?

I’ve been making homemade mayo for months in my Vitamix, and love it. I usually add a little dried Parsley to it as well. I like your idea of lemon juice, I use apple cider vinegar. Maybe next time, we’ll try the lemon juice.
Jody @ Mommy Moment says
I love using lemon juice or lime juice – hope you like it too.
Stacie says
Looks delicious! Can you make this recipe with a regular blender?
Jody @ Mommy Moment says
Yes, you can, you just need to make sure to follow the speeds as close as possible and when pouring the oil in at the end may be tricky if the whole lid has to be off…
Kristen @ My 3 Little Kittens says
Fabulous job on this Jody! Always impressed with your cooking AND your photography!
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says
Looks delicious, plus we go through a lot of mayo, so I’d use this all the time.
Stephanie LaPlante says
