AuthorStacy SaundersCategorySaucesDifficultyBeginnerMakes about 1/2 cup of low histamine "mayo".
Great for burgers, sandwiches, or chicken salad!
Put all ingredients in a pint size mason jar or bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until it emulsifies and thickens (only takes a minute or two).
You can use a regular blender if you don't have an immersion blender.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Note: If you tolerate lemon juice you can add 1/4 tsp to the mayo. The taste isn't that different with or without it.

I am so thankful for her recipe! It was so easy to adapt to a low histamine diet. For a corn free version of the recipe check out the link above.

Isn’t vinegar a histamine-rich item?
Yes, most kinds are and it depends on the list you follow. The SIGHI list that I follow lists distilled white vinegar as a level 0 histamine.
Thank you for the recipe! Wondering if you’ve tried this with brown rice flour? (or any other kind of low histamine/gluten free flour). I’m having trouble finding white rice flour.
I haven’t tried it with brown rice flour. It’s worth a try! It will probably just have a slightly different flavor and you may need to add a 1/2-1 tsp more water.
I’ll give it a shot! Thanks again
Thank you SO much for this recipe!! This is a dumb question, but I’m not a cook: if I pulverize white rice, will I have white rice flour? Thanks again.
Hi! Yes rice flour is made from pulverized/ground rice. Here is an article from a very amazing gluten free baker all about making your own rice flour at home and some things to watch out for. It was very helpful for me!
Hi! Like everyone else – I am SO thankful for all your recipes!! Quick question for you. I don’t have xanthan gum, because I use Bobs 1-1 flour in most recipes. Do you have any clue if this recipe would work with 3 1/4tsp of bobs 1-1 flour, instead of the rice flour, corn starch and xanthan gum? Thanks so much!!
I think that could totally work and is worth a try! The rice flour, cornstarch, and xanthan gum is for thickening and emulsifying the mayo, and you have the rice flour, starch, and gum in the flour blend, so it seems like it will be successful. Let me know how it turns out!
Unfortunately, it didn’t work. After blending for 5 minutes, it only emulsified to a consistency of a heavy whipping cream. I added more flour to see if it would work, but it never got thick enough to be close to a mayonnaise , and it tasted floury. I’ll just head to the store and add rice flour and xanthin gum to my list!
oh bummer! Sorry it didn’t work. Thanks for letting me know! It’s so useful to learn from other people’s experiments.
My mayo failed to emulsify. I put all ingredients in my immersion container in the order in its listed in the recipe. I measured carefully and used my immersion blender but it was a liquid. Could it have been the temperature of my water? Everything else was at room temperature. Have you ever have this recipe fail?
Success! I had forgotten to put in the Xanthan gum. Thank you for this amazing mayo recipe!
I’m so glad you figured it out and it worked for you!
Thank you kindly Stacy! I was wondering how I could thank you and the comment section seems to the best way. I am new to histamine intolerance but believe myself and my daughter have had it for a long time. She is now 3. I have tried so many different diets and healing modalities with some relief. I am hoping this will help. I was so overwhelmed with this diet and how to begin. Knowing that you are also a busy mom helps me feel I am not alone. Also it is a bonus that your recipes are all delicious! Thank you again!
You are so welcome! Thanks for commenting 🙂
I hope you find some relief, and I’m so glad you feel you are not alone!
Do you think this could freeze? Thanks for your recipes, they’ve been really helpful!
I have IBS I cannot have xanthan gum – what do you suggest?
Here’s an article that suggests substitutions for xanthan gum. I would personally try the arrowroot flour/powder/starch.
