Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps in achieving a smooth emulsion.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the egg and add lemon juice, dijon mustard, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Using a hand whisk or an immersion blender, whisk the ingredients for about 30 seconds until well combined and slightly frothy.
Begin to add the avocado oil very slowly. Start with a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking or blending. This is crucial to emulsify the mixture properly.
As the mixture begins to thicken, you may increase the speed of adding the avocado oil to a thin stream. Continue to whisk or blend until all the oil is incorporated, and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or lemon juice for extra tang.
Transfer the mayonnaise into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before use, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Use the mayonnaise within a week and keep it refrigerated at all times.
