Ingredients

  • 1egg yolk (pastured preferred, room temperature)
  • 1 ½ teaspoonslemon juice (use a real lemon)
  • ¼ teaspoondijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoonsalt
  • 1 ½ teaspoonswhite wine vinegar
  • ¾ cupavocado oil (not olive oil)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a blender add the egg yolk, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and vinegar. Blend briefly in the food processor, blender, or with a whisk to combine. If using a whisk, see note 1.

  2. 2

    With the blender running or while whisking rapidly, slowly add the oil just a few drops at a time until the mixture starts to thicken. If you have a food processor with the small hole in the food chute you can add the oil all at once and it will drip in.

  3. 3

    Pour in the oil in a steady stream and blend until the mayo reaches a spreadable thickness--1 to 2 minutes at the most. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
