According to Chomps, mayonnaise is made of more oil than the other ingredients. To put it in perspective, a mayo recipe by Serious Eats calls for one cup of oil, one egg, one teaspoon of mustard, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. So because oil is essentially the major player here, both taste-wise and nutrition-wise, it's important to choose the right one.
Variations of oil include avocado, coconut, olive, soybean, canola, MCT, sunflower, and so many more. But one works better than the rest. Ruled explains that the mild flavor profile and high monounsaturated fat content make avocado oil a healthy option for homemade mayonnaise. The problem with coconut oil and olive oil lies in their overpowering tasting notes, though they certainly are creative choices that contain a myriad of health properties. And with soybean or canola oil, you'll most likely find quite a few preservatives and GMOs that may reduce the nutritional profile of your classic mayonnaise recipe.
So next time you're looking to make a jar of the very best mayonnaise, reach for avocado oil. It's mild, chock full of the good fats, and according to WebMD, improves heart, skin, and eye health. What's not to love?
