Easy Homemade Mayo (No immersion blender)

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole large egg right from refrigerator
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 scant cup of avocado oil
Optional add-ins
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • fresh herbs and seasonings
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and chopped

Method
 

  1. Place egg, lemon juice and salt in blender or food processor and start running on low.
  2. Once mixed slowly start dripping your oil in
  3. I drip 1 tbsp of oil at a time and let it mix for at least a minute
  4. As you continue to add your oil, it will emulsify but continue to add slowly so you don't break it
  5. Once your mayonnaise is done, then you can hand mix in any optional ingredients you want
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week
  7. Invest in anĀ immersion blender so you can make the mayo faster like above
