Homemade Mayo
Quick, healthy mayo at a fraction of the cost to buy it in store. Not to mention the flavor! Once you start making your own you won’t want to go back.
Equipment
- Immersion Blender
- Mason Jar or Immersion Blender Container
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oil of choice Light Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Mustard
Instructions
- First place oil in your immersion blender container or a wide mouth pint mason jar.
- Next add in the egg, lemon juice, salt & mustard.
- Gently place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container, over the egg yolk.
- Start blending, holding the immersion blender in place until it starts to emulsify.
- Slowly raise the immersion blender up the container, bringing it down if needed, until it is fully emulsified. (Do not over mix or the mayo will separate.)
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Using light olive oil will result in the most neutral flavored mayo. If you are used to the stronger taste of Avocado oil, that is the healthier choice.
- When making mayo with the immersion blender, the blender must be right over top of the egg, blender resting on the bottom of the container BEFORE turning it on. This is very important for the mayo to start to emulsify.
