A lot of my readers ask me if I have a “good” non-dairy recipe for mayonnaise. I always get a chuckle when I see this question because of all the recipes to ask for, this does not seem like it would be such a popular one.
The good news is that I do in fact have a wonderful non-dairy coconut oil mayonnaise recipe that can be found in my eBook, Cooking with Coconut Oil. So you could go purchase the book and get a ton of other great recipes but…
I’m always happy to share a recipe that is apparently in high demand! So here you go!

Do you use refined or unrefined coconut oil?
Jennifer Saleem says
You can use either although I prefer refined so you don’t get that coconut taste all the time!

Perfect! This was just the reminder I need. I want to try making our own mayonnaise, because I can’t find any store-bought ones that aren’t made with other vegetable oils we’re trying to phase out. Thanks for the reprint! 🙂
Marnie says
I haven’t tried this recipe but olive oil makes a bad tasting mayo in my opinion. Have you tried subbing bacon grease for olive oil…do you think it would work in this recipe?
Thanks!
Jennifer says
Hi Marnie! Actually yes I have! It did change the consistency a tad but I didn’t care because bacon grease is just amazing. 😉

Hello, l must say l was a bit skeptical but also very hopeful that this recipe would work & taste okay since it involved just soooo much oil but l tried it exactly as you wrote it up, verbatim. Taste was pretty decent, a tad heavy but acceptable for a 1st-run. I made it on Nov. 27th, 2019 & it has been in the refrigerator since because; 1. That is where Mayo is normally kept, & 2. Your recipe said to refrigerate for at least 30 mins. So imagine my surprise when today, December 1st, 2019 l retrieve it from the refrigerator to use and it is a SOLID BLOCK! & l MEAN SOLID, l tried “chipping” & scraping it but it acted just like dense candle wax – SOLID. Any input?? Ideas?? I’d really appreciate it… 🤔 -John

I have been chuckling over this. Wow! Let me give this a little more thought because I have never had that happen. It does get a little denser than regular mayo but should not be candle status. Stay tuned…

Thank you for this recipe. I used regular coconut oil, not extra virgin. And only used 1 egg…still turned out great😁
