Avocado Mayo

Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise

This easy homemade mayonnaise comes together in about 5 minutes using an immersion blender. Made with creamy avocado oil, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, it's perfect for sandwiches, salads, dips, and homemade dressings.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Makes: About 1¼ cups

Ingredients

• 1 cup avocado oil
• 1 large room-temperature egg
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon water (optional, if needed to thin)

Directions

1. Add the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and avocado oil to a wide-mouth mason jar or tall blending container.
2. Place the immersion blender directly on the bottom of the jar.
3. Blend without lifting the blender for about 15-20 seconds until the bottom of the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
4. Slowly lift the blender toward the top to incorporate the remaining oil until the mayonnaise is smooth and fully emulsified.
5. If the mayonnaise is thicker than you prefer, blend in 1 teaspoon of water.
6. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately.
