Homemade Mayo

What would a tuna salad sandwich or potato salad be without the mayo? While it sometimes gets a bad rap because it’s calorically dense, homemade mayo uses only high-quality, real food ingredients like eggs, oil, and vinegar. If you don’t have avocado oil, feel free to use whatever oil you have on hand like canola or grapeseed. Just be sure to use pasteurized eggs in this recipe since the eggs are raw.
