SOME RECIPE NOTES

The foundation of this recipe is to start by collecting your bacon grease. Whether you’ve been saving it up in a jar or are simply pouring it off of your cooked bacon, you’ll need about a cup for this recipe. Don’t worry if you don’t quite have enough; you can always top it off with some avocado oil.

Once you have your bacon grease, it’s time to blend in the other ingredients. While you can use a regular blender, we highly recommend using a stick blender for speed and convenience. Plus, if you blend everything in a wide-mouth jar with measurement markings, you’ll have one less dish to clean.

A few notes about this recipe: if you use 100% bacon grease, the mayonnaise may solidify in the fridge. Simply let it sit at room temperature for a while and it will soften up again. You can also substitute some avocado oil for a softer texture. And if you’re a fan of mustard, go ahead and add a teaspoon or two to your liking.
