Servings: 1 - 1/2 cups
Calories: 83kcal
Ingredients
- 1 egg at room temperature*
- 1 ½ tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt**
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1 cup oil*** expeller-pressed sunflower oil, avocado oil, light olive oil, etc.
Instructions
Food Processor Method:
- Add the egg to the bowl of a food processor. Add the vinegar (or lemon juice) and salt. Add any of the remaining ingredients you desire except the oil.
- Process the ingredients a couple seconds, then with the motor running, add the oil in a slow stream.
- Process another 10-20 seconds. Taste to adjust seasonings.
Hand-Held Immersion Blender Method:
- Add ALL ingredients (including oil) to a pint-sized wide mouth mason jar.
- Put the blender all the way into the jar and start blending, moving the stick up and down slightly as you see it become mayonnaise to make sure all the egg is blended in.
- Store directly in the jar!
- For both methods: store, covered, in the refrigerator for about a month.
Notes
*This is best, but I have used cold ones and had success.
**Taste and add up to 1/4 teaspoon more if you'd like.
***You can also use 1/2 cup of two different kinds of oil if you'd like to experiment with flavors.
