Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • Optional substitutions: lime juice apple cider vinegar, pasteurized eggs, or light olive oil

Method
 

  1. Crack the egg into a wide jar that fits an immersion blender, keeping the yolk intact.
  2. Add ground mustard, salt, and fresh lemon juice to the jar.
  3. Pour in the full cup of avocado oil.
  4. Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar, fully covering the yolk, and blend for 10 seconds until it begins to thicken.
  5. Blend on high while slowly raising the blender to emulsify all the oil until thick and creamy.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or salt as needed.

Notes

Always use a room-temperature egg to ensure smooth emulsification. Store homemade mayonaise in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.
