Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp white vinegar (for a tangier flavor, optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather a tall, narrow jar or container compatible with an immersion blender and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
- Combine Base Ingredients: Add egg, lemon juice, mustard, and salt directly into the jar, creating a foundational mixture for emulsification.
- Oil Integration: Gently pour avocado oil on top of the base ingredients, allowing it to settle without stirring or disturbing the layers.
- Blending Technique: Position the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar, maintaining a steady vertical stance, and activate at medium speed.
- Emulsification Process: Hold the blender stationary for 15-20 seconds, allowing the ingredients to transform and thicken naturally, gradually lifting the blender as the mayonnaise develops a creamy consistency.
- Flavor Refinement: Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning, optionally incorporating a splash of vinegar for enhanced tanginess and depth.
- Storage and Preservation: Transfer the freshly crafted mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate, maintaining optimal quality for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help emulsification and prevent mayo from breaking.
- Keep immersion blender steady at bottom of jar initially to create stable base before slowly lifting for smooth texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality avocado oil for best flavor and healthier mayonnaise with clean taste profile.
- Use fresh pasteurized eggs to reduce risk of foodborne illness, especially if serving raw egg mayo.
