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 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 sunflower or safflower or avocado. Mara > 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.

Olive oil, IMO, has too much flavor of its own to make good mayo. I use safflower or sunflower. Some people like grapeseed oil.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Alyssa,If you want to try it with butter, which sounds really interesting by the way, you should do it with ghee (clarified butter) so that you have a pure oil.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 7:37:32 PMSubject: Re: mayonnaise 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...

Actually, I have a Caesar salad dressing recipe which involves butter, and I found I liked extra butter, melted. I might go with grapeseed oil and melted butter, about half & half. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sub honey for agave in elana's recipes. Right, but if you look at what you actually said, you said to substitute agave for honey, not honey for agave. " If you're more advanced into the diet and want to give this a shot, you can sub agave for honey " is what you said.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I recently tried walnut oil as I thought I had read someone on this list used it. It was very flavorful with a trace of a smoky flavor. I know walnut oil is very healthy. I have used EVOO and liked it. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Walnut oil--love homemade mayo with that. I have also used light extra virgin olive oil and half safflower oil which was good--if I use all safflower, I get nauseas. Debbie 40 cd Walnut is really good though. > I recently tried walnut oil as I thought I had read someone on this list > used it. It was very flavorful with a trace of a smoky flavor.
