Homemade mayonnaise is so creamy and much more flavorful than anything you can buy at the store. It’s also a much healthier option since there is no sugar, no preservatives or other chemicals added.
To make this basic mayonnaise recipe, you only need 5 ingredients, an immersion blender, and a jar.
1 egg
1 cup light oil of your choice (I use extra light olive oil)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Put all of the ingredients into a wide mouth jar in this order: egg (be careful not to break the yolk), oil, lemon juice, salt, Dijon mustard. Insert the immersion blender and push it all the way to the bottom of the jar.
Turn it on at the highest speed, and DO NOT move the blender for 10 seconds. Almost instantly the mixture will begin to emulsify and look like mayo. Now you can move the immersion blender up and down to incorporate any oil sitting on the top.
Not only do you have amazing mayonnaise, but this is now the base to make dips, spreads, sauces or salad dressing using any of our amazing seasonings!
