While following a Paleo diet, one of the challenges that you often here is that people get into a bit of a food rut, and start to feel like they’re living “without” all the time. I think an important key to living, and loving, the Paleo diet is to find a way to incorporate some of your old standby’s that make you happy – think comfort foods, but with a healthy twist! And while some of these foods might be reserved fro your cheat day, this Paleo Mayonnaise recipe will allow you to enjoy your old favorites any day of the week (no cheat day reservation required!). 

Thanks to Paleo Effect for this recipe – it’s a common staple in the Paleo Diet and one that’s handy to have around for tuna salad, chicken salad, coleslaw, etc. While I get the recipe section built out I thought it was a good idea to include some basic staples too. Enjoy!
