Ditch the store-bought mayo filled with inflammatory seed oils and preservatives!

This dairy-free homemade avocado oil mayonnaise is creamy, delicious, and made with wholesome, anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Avocado oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and free from the inflammatory effects of seed oils like canola or soybean.

The ingredients in this homemade avocado oil mayonnaise recipe work together to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination from raw eggs, including harmful bacteria like Salmonella.

Apple cider vinegar is acidic, which helps lower the pH of the mayonnaise. Bacteria like Salmonella struggle to survive in low-pH environments, making the dressing less hospitable for growth. The acidity also acts as a natural preservative, extending the shelf life of the mayonnaise when refrigerated.

Mustards, such as Dijon mustard, contain natural compounds like isothiocyanates, which have antimicrobial effects. These compounds add an extra layer of protection against bacteria.

By combining acidity, salt, and natural antimicrobial properties, this recipe creates a safer homemade mayonnaise while maintaining its creamy, delicious taste.
