How to add paprika flavor to mayonnaise without paprika color
My homemade mayonnaise is always a little "flat" tasting compared to commercial. Most commercial mayo includes paprika, which I do not. How does one add paprika flavor to homemade mayo without imparting an unappetizing red/orange color to the finished product?
The ingredients used in my mayonnaise are as follows:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1.25 cup soybean oil
- 1.66 tbsp white vinegar
- 1.5 tsp yellow mustard
- 0.25 tsp powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp table salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

My personal method for adding flavor to homemade mayonnaise is to include some flavored oil in addition to the vegetable oil. I like just a touch of chili oil (a teaspoon or so -- too much, and it gets too spicy and/or weirdly red).
Paprika-infused oil can be purchased or made at home (Google search) -- this may meet your needs, or inspire you to try other flavors. (You can also try infused vinegars!)

How do you mask mayonnaise flavor?
But adding a bit of acidity \u2014 in the form of citrus juice, a few drops of vinegar or a little sour cream or yogurt \u2014 thins it out while making it more adult-tasting. With or without that addition, once you start to think of the things you can stir into mayonnaise, you'll have trouble stopping.What is paprika mayo?
The paprika mayonnaise was the perfect blend of lemon, garlic, and smokiness from the smoked paprika (love that stuff!). The mayonnaise would be wonderful on any sandwich or with grilled chicken or fish, too.How to Make Mayonnaise | Gordon Ramsay
