Ingredients

  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Water
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Canola or Avocado Oil

Instructions

  • Place egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, water and salt into a wide-mouth mason jar.
  • Using an immersion blender or milk frother, blend ingredients while slowly streaming in oil.
  • Blend for 30 seconds or until fully incorporated and creamy.
  • Store prepared mayonnaise in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

This recipe comes together very quickly when using an immersion blender.  If you don't have one, you can use a sturdy bowl and whisk.  Be mindful to stream the oil in slowly when whisking by hand to ensure that the mixture emulsifies.
