How to make Beet Mayonnaise

  1. Step 1

    Wash the beets thoroughly, peel off the outer skin using a vegetable peeler, and boil them. Once cooked, let them cool and set aside. Alternatively, you can boil them with the skin on and peel them afterward.

  2. Step 2

    In the blender or food processor, place the beets cut into medium-sized pieces, the vinegar, the hard-boiled eggs (cut into pieces), salt, and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Blend all the ingredients until a creamy mixture forms. Gradually add the olive oil while continuing to blend.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cream cheese, traditional mayonnaise, and vegetable broth. Blend until you achieve a thick sauce, adding more olive oil if necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the mayonnaise from the blender and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt and pepper if needed. Chill well in the refrigerator.
