✨ Recipe Ingredients

1 whole Egg (separated)
1/2 cup of Any Animal Fat (read note 1) – this is my favorite (amazon link)
1 1/2 teaspoons Mustard (read note 2)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Lemon juice (read note 2)

Note1: I recommend using lard / butter / rendered chicken fat / rendered duck fat. If you use tallow, the mayo will come out much harder – so I don’t recommend it.

Note2: While mustard and lemon are technically not part of the carnivore diet, we are only use about a 1 teaspoon. You can omit these ingredients.

💡Tips

1. Choosing the Right Fat

When selecting an animal fat for your carnivore mayo, consider the flavor profile and consistency you prefer. Lard, butter, chicken fat, and duck fat are excellent options that provide a smooth, creamy texture. Each fat will impart a slightly different taste, so feel free to experiment and find your favorite. Avoid using tallow, as it can make your mayo too hard and difficult to spread.

2. Room Temperature Ingredients

To ensure that your mayo emulsifies properly and achieves a smooth consistency, make sure your egg is at room temperature before beginning. If you forget to take your egg out of the fridge in advance, simply place it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to help it come to room temperature more quickly.
