I just realized that mayo is paleo-friendly! It's definitely better when you make it from scratch too. TK (Thomas Keller) has a good recipe for mayo:
4 egg yolks
2 cups olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp kosher salt
Put egg yolks in food processor (or whisk by hand- if you're tough) and process to combine. With motor running, begin adding the oil very, very slowly, blending until emulsified and thickened. Add the lemon juice and salt. Refrigerate in covered container for 1 week. Makes 2 cups.
Here is also a good recipe for mayo~
Now with your new batch of homemade mayo, I made a chicken salad:
1 cup shredded chicken (white meat)
1/2 zucchini
1/2 red onion
2 stalks celery
(all veggies sliced thinly)
salt and pepper to taste
and I used scant 2 tsbp of mayo, but you be the judge.
Combine and eat as is. Pickle optional.
Niiiiice.
Good Idea Laney.
ReplyDeleteI've been craving tuna and chicken salad...can't wait to try the TK mayo recipe! Plus now I finally have something to do with all the egg yokes I don't need from my macaroon recipe! It's a win win!
ReplyDeleteI bet the olive oil mayo recipe would be great in egg salad with some, red onion, fresh dill, etc.
ReplyDeleteGood one.
