Creamy and delicious!



Boiled-Egg Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 2–3 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or light olive oil)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp mustard (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp water, as needed
Directions
- Add the boiled eggs, lemon juice, salt, mustard, and 2 tbsp oil to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get the consistency you like.
- Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, or oil if needed.
💡 For a richer, more mayonnaise-like texture: use 3–4 tbsp oil and blend very thoroughly.
For your 2 to 3 eggs:
- Bring water to a boil on high.
- Once boiling, reduce to medium-low.
- Cook 11–12 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs. (Normally 7 min.)
- Transfer immediately to ice-cold water for 5 minutes.
Since the eggs are already cooked, this is a nice alternative if you want to avoid raw eggs. Keep it refrigerated and use within 3–4 days.

You can easily turn your boiled-egg mayo into a Thousand Island-style dressing. 🥗
Thousand Island Dressing
For about 1 cup of mayo, mix:
- 1 cup boiled-egg mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish (or finely chopped pickles)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp lime juice or vinegar
- ½ tsp sugar — optional
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
How to make it
- Put everything in a bowl.
- Stir until completely combined.
- Taste and adjust:
- More ketchup → sweeter and more tomato flavor
- More lime/vinegar → tangier
- More relish → sweeter and pickle-forward
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving so the flavors blend.
Tip: Since your mayo is made with boiled eggs, blending the finished dressing briefly will give you a particularly smooth, creamy consistency.
Tip:
I boiled three eggs, saved one for my salad, and used the other two to make mayo and thousand island dressing.
I made mayo with two eggs and all the other ingredients. Then I left about half of the mayo in the blender and turned it into Thousand Island dressing by adding chopped onion, extra black pepper, a tiny bit of brown sugsr, and one ketchup packet I had saved from a fast-food restaurant. Blend a bit and serve!
It turned out so delicious! 🥗❤️ Homemade really does taste better!
