Easy Homemade Mayonnaise
This Easy Homemade Mayonnaise blends whole egg, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and avocado oil emulsified with an immersion blender. The result is a creamy, tangy condiment made fresh with simple ingredients and a smooth texture.
Ingredients
- 1 egg whole
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt sea salt
- 1 cup avocado oil or light-flavored olive oil
Instructions
- Add the egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt to the jar that came with your immersion blender. Slowly pour the oil on top and let it settle for a minute.
- Place your stick blender in the jar and press it firmly to the bottom, making sure it's covering the egg yolk. Turn it on and keep it pressed against the bottom of the jar for at least 10 to 15 seconds, without moving it.
- Once the mayonnaise starts to emulsify and thicken, slowly move the stick blender up and down to fully combine the ingredients.
- Stir the mayonnaise and place in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use the immersion blender tips carefully: keep it pressed firmly at the bottom of the jar for the first 10-15 seconds to ensure proper emulsification before moving it.
- Choose a mild-flavored oil like avocado oil to keep the mayonnaise taste delicate.
- Store homemade mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a few days.
