This easy homemade mayonnaise is creamy, rich, and made with wholesome ingredients like avocado oil, egg, and lemon juice. It’s ready in just a few minutes and tastes so much better than store-bought. Perfect for sandwiches, dressings, and dips!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup avocado oil

  • Optional: ½ teaspoon white vinegar (for a tangier flavor)

Instructions

  1. Add the egg, lemon juice, mustard, and salt to a tall jar or container that fits your immersion blender.

  2. Pour in the avocado oil last — don’t stir or shake.

  3. Place your immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and turn it on.

  4. Blend without moving the blender for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture starts to emulsify.

  5. Slowly lift the blender up as the mayo thickens. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add vinegar for extra tang, if desired.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Make sure the egg is at room temperature for best results.

  • If you don’t have an immersion blender, a regular blender or food processor works too.

  • Use pasteurized eggs for food safety if preferred.
