Gluten Free Soy Free Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe

Gluten-free mayonnaise is very easy to find. This gluten free, soy free, egg free mayonnaise recipe is not only easy to make but is so much healthier than store-bought mayonnaise. I use Best Foods, however, I recently discovered that there are chemicals in my mayonnaise! I was shocked to find one of the chemicals to be EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). They use this stuff to dissolve limescale! It is also used in cosmetics and many more uses. It’s final. I’m making my own from now on! The color will vary depending on which oil combination you use. Experiment with different oils and have fun!

One of my Facebook fans was searching for a gluten free egg free mayonnaise recipe. Another Facebook fan suggested a particular recipe. I changed it a bit, as it tasted like mustard to me. I used vinegar instead of lemon juice due to citrus allergies, and it was not flavorful enough, even with the mustard, therefore, I increased the lemon juice/vinegar and salt amount in the recipe below. I also added additional egg replacer to thicken it further. If you are tolerant of eggs, you can use this egg free mayonnaise recipe by replacing the egg replacer, and 2 tablespoons of the water with with 2 eggs. That is how I will be making it from here on out! Yum! – and so much healthier than what I had been using!

While deciding on which oils I would use to make my gluten-free mayonnaise, my research showed that Omega-6 oils should not be used alone because doing so can cause inflammation in our bodies [The University of Maryland Medical Center no longer has this article on their website.] I had no idea! (This was stated in several articles online.) However, using Omega-6 and Omega-3 oils together are ideal.

Oils high in Omega-6 include olive oil, grape seed oil, peanut oil, sesame seed oil, palm oil… Other oils rich in Omega-6 that will go rancid quickly are canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil.

Oils rich in Omega-3 are chia oil (not a neutral tasting oil), flax oil (brown in color), and hempseed oil. However, when cooking mayonnaise, never use flax oil while the mixture is hot, as it will produce carcinogens (cancer-causing agent). Use Omega-6 oils and then allow to cool prior to adding the flax oil. When making your gluten-free mayonnaise, also avoid high amounts of coconut oil, as it high in saturated fats, causing it to harden in the refrigerator. If you wish to use it, add a very small amount.

To test this recipe I used:

• 1/3 cup grape seed oil
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO); and after it cooled, I added 1/3 cup flax oil. Remember to balance out those Omega-6 and Omega-3 oils, when at all possible. (I think I’ll use a little less next time, about 1/4 cup.)

The egg replacer makes it taste chalky but isn’t noticeable on a sandwich.
