Equipment

  • Immersion blender
  • Wide mouth pint canning jar or other container with straight & tall walls

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Avocado or Olive Oil or other oil of choice
  • 1/2 tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • 1 TBSP Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard

Instructions

  • Start by adding your egg to your tall container
  • Gently pour the liquid oil over the egg. Be sure all of the oil stays above the egg.
  • Add your desired amount of salt, the juice of half a lemon, and Dijon mustard on top of the oil.
  • Carefully place the immersion blender in the jar so the immersion blender covers the egg at the bottom.
  • Starting with the immersion blender at the bottom of the pint jar, begin blending on the high setting.
  • Once the bottom quarter starts to incorporate, slowly lift the immersion blender to allow the rest of the ingredients to be incorporated.
  • Once everything is mixed and you’ve reached the mayonnaise consistency, turn off the immersion blender and remove from the jar. Make sure to scrape off any excess mayo from the immersion blender.
  • This Mayo is now ready to use! If you don’t use all of it right away, store in the fridge. Be sure to use it within a few days.
