Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This is crucial for the emulsification process.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.
Begin adding the avocado oil very slowly, just a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking. This ensures the oil emulsifies with the egg mixture and begins to thicken.
Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can gradually add the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk. Whisk constantly to maintain a smooth, creamy consistency.
Taste the mayo and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lemon juice, or a pinch of black pepper.
Transfer to a clean jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy your paleo-friendly homemade mayo!
