🥑 Why I Started Making My Own Mayo (and Ranch Dressing)
Ever look at the ingredients on a bottle of store-bought mayo or ranch and think… “Wait, why is there soybean oil, sugar, and preservatives in something this simple?”
That was me. So I decided to start making my own — and let me tell you, it’s one of those small switches that feels weirdly empowering.
Here’s the deal: when you make it yourself, you’re in full control of what goes in your body. No seed oils. No additives. Just real, clean ingredients.
🥣 Homemade Healthy Mayo
You only need a handful of things:
- 1 whole egg (room temp)
- 1 cup avocado oil or light olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
👉 Put everything in a tall, narrow container.
👉 Use an immersion blender and keep it at the bottom.
👉 Blend for 10–15 seconds until it emulsifies and thickens into creamy perfection.
That’s it. You’ve got mayo that actually fuels your body instead of inflaming it.
🌿 From Mayo to Ranch
Once you’ve got your mayo, ranch is only a few shakes away:
- ½ cup homemade mayo
- ¼ cup unsweetened Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- Garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste
- Add a splash of water or milk if you like it thinner
Mix it all together — and you’ve got a ranch dressing that tastes better than store-bought, without the junk.
💡 Why It Matters
Little things like this add up. Every ingredient swap is a step toward higher energy, better digestion, and clearer focus.
You don’t need to overhaul your diet overnight — just start with what you can control.
And who knows? Once you taste this, you might never go back to the bottled stuff again.
