Homemade Mayo

Homemade Mayo

Mayo is one the the easiest condiments to make, yet it can be intimidating. It’s super budget friendly and most people already have the ingredients on hand. It takes 2 mins to whip up a batch of delicious, thick mayo that you will want to eat directly from the jar. Use this as a base to make creamy salad dressings, mix some garlic and herbs for a fun aioli to dip.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup avocado oil 
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard or 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp White Wine vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Lemon Juiced about 2 heaping TBSP
  • 1 Egg room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Place ingredients in a wide mouth mason jar (2 cups or larger) adding the avocado oil last. Place immersion stick blender directly over top the egg touching the bottom. Turn the stick blender on. Keep the stick at the bottom until it begins to thicken, then slowly pull the stick towards the top.
  • The finished product is a beautiful, thick mayo. Place a lid on and refrigerate. Best consumed within 7 days. 

Notes

To rapidly bring an egg to room temp- place in a cup of warm (not hot) water for 5-10 mins.
**If using a regular blender: add all ingredients except for the oil. Turn on the blender and slowly add the oil while blending until mixture becomes thick.
