Homemade Mayonnaise in the Blender

Mercy's Note:

This is a variation on another winner from the wonderful Ms. Paula H. Deen! For variety, I like to add an itty-bitty shake of cayenne pepper, curry powder or chili powder in with the other spices. Minced fresh basil, fresh tarragon, garlic or prepared horseradish are also great add-ins. One teaspoon of sugar (to taste) may be added for more of a salad dressing-type (Miracle Whip) flavor. Let your imagination run free!

Good flavor, but a bit too salty for my tastes. Will use less in the next batch. This was also the 1st time I made mayo using a blender...while it does work, I still prefer using a food processor (but then I have one of the small food processors, KWIM?). Recipe is a keeper, though...thanks!

I made this mayonnaise in my blender and it came together very quickly and has a nice texture. The flavor wasnt there for me, I like the bit of tang, so I added about a tablespoon or so of horseradish sauce and it is wonderful! I cant wait to make tuna or egg salad and use this mayo. Great versatile recipe that I will make again. Made and reviewed for the Celebrity Chef's forum.......December Secret Ingredient Tag Game.

This is the 2nd homemade mayo recipe I've tried from this site and I like this one much better than the first. I added a tiny shake of cayenne pepper, as suggested, and artificial sweetener equal to 2 teaspoons sugar, plus I added 2 teaspoons of rice wine vinegar just to give it a little more zip. It came out very good. I'll definitely be making this one again.
