Mayonnaise – Recipe

 

The quark-linseed oil cream makes an excellent base for a healthy mayonnaise that is every bit as good as the real thing.
This is the basic mayonnaise recipe from Dr Johanna Budwig’s Oil Protein Cookbook.

  • 3 tbsp cold-pressed linseed oil
  • 3 tbsp quark
  • 3 tbsp milk (or 6 yoghurt)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • and/or 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar,
  • tbsp made mustard smooth or seeded,
  • Pinch salt.

Blend oil and quark very thoroughly then stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Use to top raw veggies or any salad, have on top a slice of bread or as a sandwich filling, use as a dip or as a relish or chutney with a bean dish or curry, use with a baked potato or mash – brilliant with salad potatoes.
