Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4-1 cup oil I prefer a neutral oil like avocado or sunflower oil
  • 2 tbs lemon juice or vinegar to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the egg, a pinch of salt, and a tiny amount of oil in a blender, blend until well mixed.
  2. Continue blending and add the oil very slowly at first until the mix begins to thicken.
  3. Once it begins to thicken you can add the oil at a steady drizzle, once the blending starts to slow down you can turn off the blender and add the lemon juice or vinegar.
  4. Blend until the lemon juice is mixed in, taste and add additional salt if needed.

Notes

  • You can easily add additional ingredients to flavor the mayonnaise: garlic, onion, chili peppers, chipotle paste, fresh herbs like cilantro or basil. They can be added at the beginning with the egg or at the end with the lemon juice (the garlic should be crushed if adding it at the end)
