  1. This recipe was very easy to make, but it tasted awful! It tasted like plastic and salt! I think the amounts for the ingredients must be wrong???? It thickened extremely quickly, so had very little oil in it.
     
  2. Thank you DiB's for this recipe. I was out of mayonnaise today and decided to make some for a macaroni salad. This is a great recipe. I used olive oil and added minced garlic, cayenne pepper, balsamic vinegar and white pepper and it turned out great, after I made it for the sixth time. I would end up everytime with a broken mess as Miraklegirl did. I read all the recipes here and finally found only ONE with the secret. Use COLD OIL and the egg yolks and other ingredients must be at room temperature. It was 92*F. in my kitchen today and the oil must have been 92*F. I put the olive oil in the fridge for four hours after dinner and proceeded at midnight to make another batch. This time it worked! I took the first batch that had separated but I kept it cold in the fridge and slowly poured it in with the new batch and that worked. I wish I would have saved the other batches too but they went down the sink. I did have to double the recipe as my food processor wouldn't get the process started with only two egg yolks and I did not use all the COLD oil as I was afraid it would break again. I have zmailed Miraklegirl to give her the good news. Thank you again for a very tasty recipe.
     
  3. This is truly fabulous. I was very excited to try this recipe. Really really outstanding.
     
  4. Like Suzie-Q Cooks, I used walnut oil and whole eggs! <br/>I've been looking for a "primal" mayo and I don't like the flavor of olive oil mayo. It came together very well. When I tasted it right after I made it, it tasted salty. Today though, when I really used it for the first time for a chicken salad, it was delicious!!!<br/>Thank you Dib's and Suzie-Q!
     
  5. Very tasty. This is the first time I've tried making mayo and it worked perfectly for me. I used my blender, and did not feel like separating the eggs, so I used the whole egg. It was a little loose when I first finished, but after refrigeration it tightened up. I did not cool the oil either...guess I got beginners luck. Thanks for the recipe.
