Homemade Mayo by Amanda
Ingredients
- 1 cup liquid monounsaturated oil (avocado works great, olive will work too, but will have a flavor. Also note that heavily refined oils may not emulsify)
- 1 organic, pastured egg
- 1/4 teaspoon fine Celtic sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- White pepper, garlic powder, chipotle powder or other spices to taste (optional)
- Equipment (please mention at the beginning of the video): Immersion (stick) blender
- Tall jar that the immersion blender fits into (wide mouth pint mason jars are perfect)
Instructions
- Pour the oil into the jar
- Crack the egg, add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and other spices
- Place the stick blender all the way to the bottom of the jar and turn it on high
- Allow the blender to run until most of the egg is emulsified (the emulsification will work its way to the top)
- Slowly move the blender up to continue to emulsify the mixture. Move it slowly up and down to get everything combined. It will start to thicken and look like mayonnaise after a few minutes
- You can add additional salt or other spices and blend as needed
