I started making my own mayonnaise at home (using olive oil) so that I could use it as the main ingredient in my own ranch dressing that is olive oil based. I'm seeking the flavor of Ranch Dressing with the health benefits of olive oil - rather than soybean oil based like all store bought varieties are.
The problem is that Olive Oil has a very overpowering taste (compared to the bland soybean oil used in most every ranch recipe).
Because of this, I can't get the mayonnaise/ranch to taste anything at all like store bought stuff.
My primary concern here was incorporating the healthiness of Olive Oil into by diet while simultaneously removing the bad omega-6 rich soybean oil. I will not sacrifice health for taste, but it sure would be nice to make something that tastes more like that yummy chemical-concoction I buy at the stores
Any "less powerfully flavored" replacements for olive oil that are still super healthy? I've never heard of any. It's always "olive oil this" and "olive oil that"
