This Easy, Hard Boiled Egg Mayo is gluten free, dairy free, and low carb. It’s made with only five ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen and none of the additives of classic mayo! It’s the perfect spread to add to your weekly meal prep to have stocked in your fridge. Thick, creamy, tangy, and so easy you’ll never want to spend the money on store-bought again!

One spread that I would say is arguably a kitchen staple is mayonnaise. It goes on just about any sandwich or wrap you can imagine and is key for a flavorful, creamy chicken, tuna , or even pasta salad. I feel like it’s one thing that people love or absolutely hate – I’m 50/50 with it. The classic store-bought mayo has a weird texture and the flavoring is just… off. And if you’re like me who chooses to buy the healthier options with simple ingredients and no additives, that gets EXPENSIVE. The ingredients are worth it but still, it can add up! The solution: homemade mayo.

I’ve tried making homemade mayo before but most recipes use raw eggs which I don’t love. Plus, it doesn’t last as long or has a much thinner consistency. Honestly, it’s not the best and why I usually end up buying the expensive jar at the grocery 😅 BUT I saw a hack to use hard boiled eggs instead and the minute I tried it, I was hooked! Using hard boiled eggs helps give it a thicker, fluffier texture and a more subtle flavor. And by making it at home, you can adjust the taste, amount, and consistency to make YOUR perfect mayo spread. I’ve been choosing this over store-bought ever since and don’t think I’ll be looking back!

I love to use this on my Three Ingredient Avocado Bread and Cottage Cheese Wraps for quick, filling lunches. But I’ve also been wanting to try it in a tuna or chicken salad next! When making it for salads, I’ll just double the recipe depending on how much I’m making. It’s nice to just have a few hard-boiled eggs prepped and ready in the fridge so I can either enjoy them as is with a snack or use them for this quick mayo!

Why You’ll Love This

• A lighter option – Since it’s only made with a few, simple ingredients this is a MUCH lighter option compared to the classic, store-bought mayo.
• Easy to make – Just prep the hard boiled eggs, blend, and enjoy!
• Used for anything – Add this on sandwiches, wraps, in egg/chicken/tuna/potato salad, as creamy salad dressing, caesar salad dressing, etc. The options are endless.
• Dietary friendly – This is gluten free, dairy free, paleo, refined sugar free, low carb, and a healthier option.

What You’ll Need

• Hard boiled eggs – Just two for this recipe! You can always double or triple if needed.
• Water
• Vinegar – I used apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
• Dijon mustard – This adds the tanginess, you can add more or less.
• Neutral oil – Olive oil or avocado oil are best, avocado oil has less flavor so it depends on what you prefer!
• Sea salt

How To Make

1. Add all of the ingredients to the cup of a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
2. If you want the mayo to be thinner, especially if using as part of a dressing, add splashes of water or olive oil until your preferred consistency.
3. Store in an air-tight container for up to three to five days and enjoy!
