Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oil Neutral liquid oil like avocado oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

Immersion Blender

  • Add the egg, mustard, lemon juice, and salt to a tall container, a wide mouth mason jar works perfectly for this.  With the blade of the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar, blend on low while slowly lifting the stick blender upward. You will see the oil start to emulsify with the egg, turning the oil into white, creamy mayo. Continue to slowly lift the stick blender to the top of the oil, until all of the oil is mixed in. You may need to move the stick blender up and down a few times after the majority of the oil is mixed. 

Food Processor or Blender Method

  • Place the egg, mustard, lemon juice, and salt into the food processor fitted with the blade attachment or in the blender. Turn on and blend for a few seconds until the yolk is smooth. With the blender or food processor still running, slowly drizzle the oil from the top, roughly a tablespoon at a time. Once you see the mayo start to emulsify, you can increase the rate of the oil a bit. 

Hand Mixer

  • Place egg, mustard, salt, and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl and mix for a few seconds until the yolk and other ingredients are smooth. Using a hand mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle the oil a tablespoon at a time. Continue mixing, making sure that each bit of oil is mixed in before adding more oil. The oil will start to thicken and become creamy. Continue mixing until all of the oil is incorporated into the egg.

Hand Whisking

  • Use the same technique as mixing with a hand mixer, except that you will hand whisk as you drizzle the oil into the bowl. This method will take longer but allows anyone to make their own mayo regardless if they have the above equipment.

Storage

  • Place the mayo in an airtight container and into the refrigerator up to two weeks.
