Low-calorie mayonnaise at home

Cooking this very tasty and quite healthy mayonnaise is not difficult. Even a novice cook can handle this task. The sauce recipe is basic, the basis. This means that it can be easily diversified by adding some ingredients. For example, you can put chopped greens, Dijon mustard (in grains), garlic passed through a press, chopped chili pepper, chopped pickles or favorite spices in mayonnaise. Of spices, hops-suneli or Svan salt are especially suitable.

An important point is that all the products that we will use in the preparation of the sauce must be at room temperature, which means that they need to be taken out of the refrigerator in advance. This applies to cottage cheese and yolks.

And now we start cooking mayonnaise directly, for which we put yolks and mustard in a container of a suitable size. Whisk everything together with a blender. Next, we begin to pour in a thin stream of vegetable oil. At the same time, we continue whipping. Beat the mixture until thickened.

At this stage, add salt, ground black pepper (ideally, if it is freshly ground), and pour in lemon juice. If there is still vegetable oil left, we continue to pour it in little by little, whisking. Beat to the desired consistency.

Next, rub the cottage cheese through a fine sieve and add the resulting homogeneous mass to the thick mixture. Mix everything thoroughly and taste it. If necessary, add more salt and ground black pepper.

Mayonnaise is ready! Its energy value is 315 kilocalories for every 100 grams, which is not so much in comparison with a store-bought product. You need to store this sauce in the refrigerator, but no more than two days.

Bon appetit and successful culinary experiments!
