I’ve been studying food labels carefully and don’t like many of the additives, so I’ve embarked on a journey to eat more natural foods. I make my own juices, granola, bread, and BBQ sauce. Now I’ve conquered mayonnaise.
With the Vitamix, it’s easy and takes mere minutes. Here’s how:
Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
¾ cup egg substitute
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
2¼ cups extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Add first four ingredients to the Vitamix container. Secure lid but remove plug.
Turn Vitamix to Variable Speed 1, gradually increasing to 10 then high.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream through the opening in the lid.
Run Vitamix just until mixture thickens.
Turn off Vitamix, pour the mayonnaise into a quart jar, and put a tight-fitting lid (or canning ring and lid) on the jar. Refrigerate. Keeps up to 10 days.
Yield: 1 quart
I use 1/2 cup of my mayonnaise to make shrimp salad.

That looks good. I’d leave out the sweet pickle relish as I’m not a fan and I would use light mayo. And since I never cook with salt or pepper, I’d sprinkle on some dried dill.
Those are all good ideas, Nancy. I don’t like sweet pickle relish, either, yet find a little in the salad adds a nice taste. I don’t tell my husband, though, or he’d never eat it! Dill is a nice alternative to tarragon, and I use dill sometimes. As for S&P, I don’t cook with it but added it to the recipe because the first thing folks do when I serve them my cooking is grab the shakers.
Not really a fan of the sweet relish but it does look good
I understand. The sweet relish is optional, of course. I don’t like it, but for some reason like a little of it in the background of this salad.
