Mayo goes with everything, am I right?
I’ve always been a mayo person. Because let’s be real, it’s the best condiment.
But for a long time, I was stuck using traditional uses for mayonnaise. You know, sandwiches, wraps, deviled eggs. How boring is that?!
For more than a decade, Subway sandwiches were a weekly occurrence, if not more than that. I’d order the same exact thing every time…for 10 years: whole wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickles, double provolone, mustard, and mayo. I would proceed to open up my sandwich and eat the pickles first. Many people asked why I didn’t just get pickles on the side. My reason? Mayo. I preferred to eat my pickles slathered in Subway’s junky mayonnaise.
Now, that’s an extreme example. Most people don’t dip pickles in mayo. I don’t entirely blame you. But hey, don’t knock it till you try it, right? Just kidding, you can knock that one. Especially if any of it is from Subway.
It wasn’t until I learned to cook that I realized what my favorite condiment even is. I had literally never thought about it. It was one of those foods I never questioned as a kid or an adult. I now look back with complete horror at the mayonnaise (and everything else) I use to eat. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
Now I realize how easy it is to make mayo and make it healthy! You really only need two ingredients and a blender of some sort. The whole process takes 2 minutes and it’s way healthier than the brands you’ll find at the store.
The only exception here is Primal Kitchen. I’m so obsessed with Primal Kitchen everything that I reached out to get a discount code for you guys! You can use code WELLBYMICHELLE to get 10% off! I’m obsessed with the chipotle lime mayo, the greek dressing, and I’m literally dying to try the garlic aoili. Let me know what you try!
As much as I love all PK products, there’s something about a homemade batch of fresh mayo that I can’t get enough of. So I rely on Primal Kitchen for the flavored condiments and make this perfect paleo mayo myself.
One final note with this recipe. You’ll need an immersion blender. I use this one and love it!
Use this perfect paleo mayo in my classic salmon salad recipe!

You may need to move the immersion blender up and down as you add the oil to keep it all mixing properly.
