This vibrant Cajun-style mayonnaise is far superior to store-bought jars, offering a rich, creamy texture with a bold, aromatic punch. By blending fresh egg yolks with high-grade vegetable oil, you create a luxurious emulsion that serves as the perfect base for sandwiches, seafood, or dips. The addition of minced garlic and fresh green onions provides a sharp, herbal freshness, while Tabasco sauce and lemon juice deliver a bright, tangy heat that cuts through the richness. It’s incredibly easy to make in a food processor, requiring just a few minutes of your time. This versatile condiment adds a homemade touch to any meal, whether you are slathering it on a po’boy, mixing it into potato salad, or using it as a dip for fried vegetables.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the egg yolks, minced garlic, salt, lemon juice, and Tabasco sauce into the bowl of a food processor or blender.
  2. Pulse the mixture briefly to combine the wet ingredients and ensure the garlic is evenly distributed.
  3. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil in a very thin, steady stream to create a stable emulsion.
  4. Continue adding the oil until all of it has been incorporated and the mayonnaise has thickened significantly.
  5. Fold in the chopped green onions by hand or pulse briefly until just combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if desired, then serve immediately or refrigerate.
