Wait. Cranberry Mayonnaise?? CRANBERRY MAYONNAISE!! Yep, it’s A Thing and it. is. delicious. Creamy, refreshing, and with a slight tang it will totally upgrade your turkey sandwich experience. It’s not sweet and it’s not tart, it’s a middle ground of awesomeness. Then, when you bite into a piece of cranberry you get an extra hit of cranberry flavor.
This recipe has a higher egg: oil ratio to make a more stable mayonnaise as the addition of cranberry sauce could contribute to it splitting or becoming too thin. And no one wants thin mayo.
My taste-testers were skeptical, but once they tasted it they loved it! Their favorite way of eating it – after turkey sandwiches of course – was to slice an avocado in half, remove the pit and then fill the hole with Cranberry Mayonnaise and eat it all with a spoon. And that’s my new preferred way to eat an avocado now.
If you wait all year for the Turkey and Cranberry Sauce sandwiches (*raises hand*) then this year try switching it up with this fantastic Cranberry Mayonnaise. This might just be your new favorite dressing.

What You Need
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp. sea salt (For the best salt and a 15% discount use code: carriebrown)
- 1 ½ cup / 12 fl oz. avocado oil
- 12 oz. / 335g Cranberry Sauce (Recipe: https://carriebrown.com/archives/26738)
What You Do
- USING A STICK BLENDER: Put the eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt in the bottom of the jug that came with your stick blender, or a tall mason or similar jar slightly wider than the whisk of the stick blender.
- Holding the blender in one hand make sure the bottom of blender is in contact with the bottom of the jar and turn on to mix the ingredients.
- With the other hand slowly pour the avocado oil into the jar while the blender is running.
- Once all the oil has been added whisk until the ingredients at the bottom turn thick and creamy, then slowly – while the blender is still running – raise the stick blender up the jar.
- Blend until all of the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
- Add the Cranberry Sauce to the jar and stir into the mayonnaise until completely mixed.
- OPTIONAL: If you want smooth Cranberry Mayonnaise then use the stick blender to blend them together.
- Spoon the Cranberry mayonnaise into a mason jar or similar airtight storage container and keep in the fridge.
- I highly recommend making it a day ahead and letting it sit overnight or for a day before eating it.
- USING A BLENDER: Put the eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt in the blender jug and blend until mixed.
- Remove the middle of the blender lid and with the blender still running very slowly drizzle the oil through the hole in the lid so that it mixes into the other ingredients.
- Continue drizzling the oil slowly into the mayonnaise until it is all blended in and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
- For smooth Cranberry Mayonnaise, turn the blender to low speed and add the Cranberry Sauce, blending until completely mixed.
- For chunky Cranberry Mayonnaise, spoon the mayonnaise from the blender into a bowl, add the Cranberry Sauce and mix together well.
- Spoon the Cranberry mayonnaise into a mason jar or similar airtight storage container and keep in the fridge.
- I highly recommend making it a day ahead and letting it sit overnight or for a day before eating it.
