Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 cup avocado oil (or vegetable oil or light olive oil)
Dry Ingredients
- ½ tsp ground mustard (or ½ tsp Dijon mustard)
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: Add 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, ½ teaspoon ground mustard, and ¼ teaspoon salt into a bowl, mason jar, or the cup compatible with your immersion blender. Blend until smooth and creamy to form the base of your mayonnaise.
- Slowly Incorporate Oil: While your immersion blender is running on low, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of avocado oil. This gradual addition allows the oil to emulsify with the egg mixture, creating a thick, creamy mayonnaise texture. Continue blending until fully combined and smooth.
- Adjust Flavor and Consistency: Taste your mayonnaise. If it seems too rich or oily, add a little more lemon juice or salt and blend briefly again to adjust the flavor and reach your preferred consistency.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within one week for best freshness. Enjoy as a spread, dip, or dressing base.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs to ensure safety and the best flavor.
- Maintain a slow drizzle of oil while blending to achieve proper emulsification and prevent separation.
- You can substitute avocado oil with vegetable oil or light olive oil for different flavors.
- Store homemade mayo in the refrigerator and consume within 7 days to ensure safety as it contains raw egg.
- Adding mustard helps stabilize the emulsion and adds subtle flavor.
- If the mayonnaise breaks (separates), start with a fresh egg yolk and slowly whisk the broken mayo into it to rescue the mixture.
