Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to help emulsify the mayonnaise.
In a large mixing bowl or the container of an immersion blender, combine the egg, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt.
Using the immersion blender, blend the ingredients together on low speed for about 20 seconds until well combined.
With the blender running, begin adding the avocado oil very slowly in a thin, continuous stream. Start with a few drops at a time until the mayonnaise begins to thicken, then continue to add more oil. This process should take several minutes and is crucial for ensuring proper emulsification.
Once all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lemon juice to your taste.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean container with a tight lid and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for about 1 week.
