Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help the emulsion process.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and sea salt.
Using an immersion blender, blend the egg mixture on high speed until it is a uniform yellow color and slightly frothy, which should take about 20-30 seconds.
While continuing to blend on high speed, very slowly drizzle the avocado oil into the egg mixture. Start with a few drops at a time, then gradually increase the flow to a light stream, ensuring the mixture emulsifies and thickens. This step may take about 2-3 minutes.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency, turn off the immersion blender.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the Paleo Classic Mayo into a clean, lidded jar and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
Enjoy your homemade mayo as a part of your favorite Paleo meals, knowing it's made with only wholesome, compliant ingredients.
