This homemade mayonnaise is a revelation of fresh flavor. With just a few pantry staples and five minutes, you can create a bright, creamy condiment that transforms sandwiches, salads, and dips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup neutral oil (like avocado, grapeseed, or light olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Combine the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a tall jar (for immersion blender) or food processor bowl. Pulse or stir to combine.
  2. If using an immersion blender, place it at the bottom of the jar. Turn it on and hold it still until the mixture at the bottom emulsifies and turns white.
  3. With the blender running, slowly lift it up through the jar to incorporate all the oil. If using a food processor, keep it running and add the oil in a very thin, steady stream.
  4. Once all oil is added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, stop blending. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Add the oil slowly to prevent the mayonnaise from breaking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
