In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the refined coconut oil until it is fully liquified. Take caution not to overheat—it should just reach its liquid state.
Pour the melted coconut oil into a blender or food processor.
Add the canola oil, chilled water, lecithin granules (if using), and a pinch of salt into the blender with the coconut oil.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the ingredients are thoroughly emulsified and the texture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up.
Once set, the margarine can be used just like store-bought versions. Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks.
