MAYO?

[swtlilutmom]

On atkins.com it say they recommend usign regular mayo....like best foods...but it contains sugar.?
Is it really okay to use best foods mayo?

My mayo is regular mayo and does not have any sugar in it. My brand is a local, southern brand so check some other brands and see if you can get some without sugar.

Make your own mayonnaise - it's worth it. Delicious stuff, especially when you add things like crushed garlic to make a nice aioli. There are many easily searchable recipes on the Net for making homemade mayo, and almost all of them are Atkins friendly.

I had a mayo question myself, figure this is a good place for it... I did several mayo searches, found lots of recipes but they all turned out like soup

What's the trick to thick creamy mayo, any idea??

My measurements were all accurate, I tried 2 seperate recipes and they both ended up like that.

Once thing you need to make sure you do is follow the directions to the letter, including _how_ you add the ingredients. If you just plop it all into a blender and hit blend it will not thicken properly as it would have if you slowly drizzled in the oil.

Put egg yolk in blender.

Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice, vinegar or mustard. Blend.

Drizzle 1/2 cup of oil in SLOWLY while blending.

Dump one or two shelled walnut halves into the blender. For some reason this seems to add a lot of stability. Some crushed garlic doesn't hurt either, yum.

Continue drizzling oil and blending until you have a nice thick mayo.

LOL I drizzle excrutiatingly slow, I promise

No walnut anythings for me atm, it's still Induction time for me... Garlic however, I can do with gusto.

Guess I'll give it another shot, I just hate wasting the eggs. LOL

Thanks y'all.
