Homemade mayonnaise is a great substitute for a store-bought product. Because, first of all, it is much more useful, tk. does not contain harmful preservatives. Secondly, you can add any spicy spices to your taste. Thirdly, it is much cheaper. Fourthly, it is prepared very quickly and simply, no more than 5-10 minutes.
Many people think that mayonnaise is a very high-calorie product and not very healthy. An interesting fact is that you can only think so about store products called "Mayonnaise", while it has absolutely nothing to do with the famous real sauce. It is very easy to verify this. It is enough just to look at the list of ingredients, where it will be almost impossible to find natural products. In this case, preservatives and flavoring "E" additives are present in excess. It is these harmful additives that affect the fat content and calorie content of the product. Real mayonnaise is prepared exclusively from fresh eggs and vegetable oil, and everything else is added for taste - sugar, salt, mustard, lemon juice.
Based on this, if you make mayonnaise yourself, then it will not be so fatty and too high in calories. Well, and to make it tasty for you, of course, I will reveal some secrets.
- For mayonnaise, a whole egg is usually placed, but the classic recipe uses only the yolk.
- Food must be at only room temperature.
- You can use table vinegar instead of lemon juice.
- To keep the mayonnaise last longer, use only fresh food, especially eggs.
- Store mayonnaise in a cool place under a tightly closed lid.

Making homemade mayonnaise
1. Drive an egg into a clean and dry container, add mustard, salt and sugar.
2. Beat the food with a mixer at high speed until smooth and lemon-colored. Next, start slowly pouring in vegetable oil in a thin stream, while not interrupting the beating of the mass.
3. Before your eyes, the oil will thicken, transforming into a uniform consistency. This process will take you a maximum of 5 minutes. After that, pour the vinegar into the mixture.
4. Beat the food again for 1 minute. You will have a thick and stretchy mayonnaise with a uniform consistency and a pleasantly light yellow color. Transfer it to a storage container, preferably a glass jar, and keep it in the refrigerator under a lid.
5. You can use this mayonnaise in any recipes and dishes. It turns out that it is much tastier and more tender, and most importantly of better quality.
