Olive Oil Mayonnaise Recipe

Elevate your salads and sandwiches with this homemade Olive Oil Mayonnaise! Years ago, I discovered the magic of using fresh eggs and olive oil to create a creamy, flavorful mayonnaise that's far superior to store-bought versions. This recipe uses standard salad olive oil (not virgin or extra virgin) for the perfect balance of flavor and texture. Easily adaptable – omit the garlic and onion powders for a lighter touch, and substitute lime juice for a zesty twist, perfect for poppy seed dressings! This recipe easily doubles, so make a big batch and enjoy!
