Mayonnaise is the all mighty sauce for Paleo food. It's creamy, delicious, full of healthy fats and it can be a carrier for just about any flavor. That is, if you make it yourself at home with the right ingredients. Until recently there was no way to get a truly healthy mayo from the store.
Even the ones that are supposedly better are made with canola, safflower or soybean oil, which is not acceptable by our standards. Making it a home is great and rewarding, but sometimes the convenience of a pre-made mayonnaise could help so much.
Mark Sisson and his team at Primal Kitchen have now decided to change that and offer a true Paleo mayonnaise. It's made with avocado oil, cage-free eggs, vinegar, and sea salt.
They were kind enough to send us a jar, so we had to try it out right away. One word: delicious! Exactly the taste and texture you would be looking for in mayonnaise but without the bad ingredients.
We used it to whip up a creamy Caesar dressing to use on some chicken burgers. It's our little play on deconstructing a Caesar salad and turning it into a burger.
The chicken burgers themselves have this special flavor from the capers and coconut aminos, and with the Caesar dressing on top, it makes the whole thing truly decadent.
You might have to hit the grocery store to get items like the capers, coconut aminos, and anchovies, but the final product is so worth it!
