If you’re looking for a recipe for a sugar free mayonnaise then read on. You will probably be aware if you are following a low carb diet that store-bought mayonnaise is often loaded with carbs.
Even those that claim to be low carb are made from low quality, refined oils and often have preservatives and some form of sugar in them. Neither are not good for your health.

Stick blender
Above all, this mayonnaise takes only 15 seconds to prepare with an immersion stick blender! Unfortunately it will not work with a regular blender unless you pour the oil in very slowly in a steady stream while blending.
Jacqueline uses a Cuisinart hand held blender like this one. It’s so useful for whizzing up dressings, whipping cream, and quickly blending soup, pesto, sauces, and even for blending a smoothie.
Light olive oil, not so healthy!
Now , I have to point out that Jacqueline uses a light olive oil in the video but light olive oil has been refined so is not really good for you.

You will see sites where manufacturers claim that it has all the heart benefits of extra virgin oil and is good for cooking because it’s got a higher smoke point but personally I would not use it.
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN, writing for the American Institute for Cancer Research states:
Extra virgin oil offers the most potential health benefits because it is the least processed and retains more of these compounds, including squalene, polyphenols and tocopherols.
Many people find the taste of an extra virgin olive oil too strong or bitter for mayonnaise unless you can find a really fruity tasting one. You could opt instead for a good quality avocado oil or use a blend of the two. Some say that avocado mayo is an acquired taste but I like it.
You could use this mayonnaise in this spicy Low Carb Coleslaw Recipe.
