Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
A creamy and reliable kitchen staple that you can whip up in minutes using real avocado oil.
Making your own mayonnaise at home is a great way to know exactly what ingredients are going into your food. This version uses pure avocado oil, which gives it a beautiful texture and a mild flavor that works well in any sandwich or salad.
The key to a thick mayo is using a room temperature egg and a light hand. If you have an immersion blender, this process becomes incredibly easy and takes almost no effort at all.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 cup pure avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Place the egg, lemon juice, mustard, and salt into a tall, wide mouth glass jar.
- 2
Slowly pour the avocado oil on top of the other ingredients and let it settle for a minute.
- 3
Place an immersion blender at the very bottom of the jar, making sure it covers the egg yolk completely.
- 4
Turn the blender on high and hold it still at the bottom for about 20 seconds until you see the white cream start to form.
- 5
Slowly tilt and lift the blender to incorporate the remaining oil until everything is thick and creamy.
๐ก Tips
Store your fresh mayo in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to one week. If the mixture separates, you can often fix it by whisking in a tiny bit of boiling water or starting with a fresh egg yolk and slowly dripping the broken mayo back in.
