Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've tried to make mayonnaise a few times with extra virgin olive oil. I really didn't like the taste of it at all. Is there another type of oil I should use to help the taste? What types of oils do you guys use if you are making your own mayo?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Amber,I usually blend the olive oil with sunflower oil to make it lighter tasting.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks, Amelia. Sorry about starting the new post. I did a quick search, but I obviously didn't look hard enough. I'll try the sunflower, and hopefully it tastes like the store bought kind! > > Amber, > > I usually blend the olive oil with sunflower oil to make it lighter tasting. > > Amelia > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: BTVC-SCD > Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 3:24:06 PM > Subject: mayonnaise > > > I've tried to make mayonnaise a few times with extra virgin olive oil.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I use sunflower or safflower. Grape seed oil would probably be pretty mild too. I've never tried with EVOO, but I bet it does have a strong flavor. Misty Kimble CD - no meds SCD - 2 years > > I've tried to make mayonnaise a few times with extra virgin olive oil.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 When you use avocado, do you use extra virgin avocado oil? Do you use it in combination with other oils? How does it taste?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Amber,Also try using 2 egg yolks to make it richer, versus the 1 whole egg. Also play around by adding more mustard powder. I also like it better using apple cider vinegar instead of the white or lemon juice.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 4:27:09 PMSubject: Re: mayonnaise Thanks, Amelia.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I actually haven't done it because it is really expensive and you have to use a lot and it's not always easy to find. But people who do use it usually rave about how good it is. Not to mention healthy. Much healthier say than sunflower oil which I usually use. Huh, now that I am reviewing maybe I should rethink my decision - at least occasionally. Mara > > When you use avocado, do you use extra virgin avocado oil?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah, that's why I was wondering. I never use mayo b/c I haven't found a recipe that tastes good and is actually healthy. I tried half coconut half EVOO, which was too strong. Let me know if you find a yummy mayo recipe using a healthy oil! I was thinking about using butter, but never got around to it...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 If you're more advanced into the diet and want to give this a shot, you can sub agave for honey and probably the marcona almonds for regular almonds (I'm not sure what the difference is) or maybe macadamia nuts: http://www.elanaspantry.com/marcona-almond-mayonnaise/ I don't have much need for mayo but I'm curious about this one. stacey > > I've tried to make mayonnaise a few times with extra virgin olive oil.
