This Tallow Mayonnaise is a rich, creamy, and nutrient-dense alternative to store-bought mayo, perfect for those following a primal, carnivore, or keto lifestyle. Unlike vegetable oil-based mayonnaise, this version uses tallow, a traditional animal fat that provides stable, healthy saturated fats. With just a handful of simple ingredients, this homemade mayo offers a delicious, wholesome addition to burgers, meat rolls, or as a dipping sauce. The optional lemon juice and mustard add a subtle tang and depth of flavor, while sea salt enhances its natural taste.
