Easy Homemade Light Mayonnaise

1 cup (requeijão-sized) cold milk
1 coffee cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lime juice
1/2 sachet unflavoured gelatine powder

For the milk, standard full-cream or low-fat dairy milk found in any Jamaican supermarket dairy aisle works perfectly. Vegetable oil is widely available in all grocery stores under various names like soybean or corn oil. White vinegar is a staple item found in the condiment section. The key ingredient, unflavoured gelatine (often sold as gelatine powder), can usually be found in the baking supplies section of major supermarkets or local specialty grocery shops; if unavailable, ensure it is strictly unflavoured and unsweetened to maintain the savoury profile of the mayonnaise.

This light homemade mayonnaise is a fantastic healthier alternative to the classic version, ideal when you want that creamy goodness without it being too rich. Made with a handful of everyday pantry items, it comes together in no time and works a treat for everything from lunch wraps to fresh salads. The secret touch of unflavoured gelatine gives it that perfect, stable body, making it a reliable staple to have in the fridge for everyday meals or special family gatherings.
