Description
A quick and easy recipe for homemade avocado oil mayonnaise, perfect for dips and spreads.
Ingredients
- 1 egg, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 11/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 11/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/21/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/21/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1 cup avocado oil, 100%, non-GMO
Instructions
- Blend Avocado Oil & Eggs: Start by pouring the avocado oil into a tall, narrow jar along with your fresh egg. Ensure the oil completely covers the egg. Using a snug jar allows the immersion blender to fit properly.
- Add Mustard & Lemon Juice: Next, add the Dijon mustard and freshly squeezed lemon juice. As you blend, you will notice the tangy notes of lemon mixing in with the other ingredients. This step adds depth and aids emulsification.
- Blend Until Creamy: Gently pulse the immersion blender from the bottom of the jar to the top until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency. Be cautious not to over-blend, as this can result in a jelly-like texture.
- Season & Taste: Add the Celtic sea salt to taste and blend just a bit more. This enhances the overall flavor of the mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of salt slowly, as too little or too much can significantly affect the taste.
- Store & Enjoy: Transfer your avocado oil mayonnaise into a clean jar with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator for freshness. Be sure to emulsify it well to avoid separation when using later. Enjoy as a dip or spread!

- Serving Suggestions: Use as a sandwich spread, mix into salads for added creaminess, or serve as a dip for vegetables.
