Making Homemade Hemp Mayonnaise is incredibly easy and rewarding. With just a few simple ingredients like hemp seed oil, lemon juice and salt you can whip up a creamy, rich mayonnaise in minutes. The process is straightforward—blend everything together until smooth, and you'll have a delicious, plant-based mayo that's packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and protein. It’s a versatile condiment that you can customize to your taste, whether you prefer it tangy, garlicky, or with a hint of spice. Best of all, it’s fresher and more wholesome than store-bought options, making it a perfect addition to your kitchen staples.
Ingredients
- 2 Large free range eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice (or vinegar)
- 1 cup Hemp seed oil
- 2 pinches Sea Salt
Directions
- Makes: 1 cup
- Separate the egg yolks into to a large bowl.
- Add the lemon juice or vinegar, then whisk for 2-3 minutes to form a sabayon (emulsified until thick and airy).
- Continue whisking as you slowly add the hemp seed oil a few drops at a time, then as a thin steady stream until it is all incorporated.
- If the mayonnaise starts becoming too thick, you can add a teaspoon of water to thin it out. If the Mayo looks too thin, whisk another egg yolk with lemon juice in clean bowl, then slowly whisk the two mixtures together. Once the mayonnaise is finished it should be thick and fluffy, forming ribbons from your whisk.
- Season with salt and pepper, and any other flavourings you desire. I have used organic miso paste with this one, but you can also use wasabi, roasted garlic, tarragon, whole-grain mustard… the possibilities are endless!
- Store your homemade hemp mayonnaise in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If it turns bitter, you can balance it out with some coconut sugar.
