Quick and Easy Homemade Mayonnaise with Olive Oil
Have you ever made your own mayonnaise? It’s super easy and delicious, and the best part is you know what’s going in it! This can be made with a very light Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or Avocado Oil. You don’t want anything too bold as it will effect the true taste of the mayonnaise.
Ingredients:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 T. lemon juice
- 1/2 t. finely ground sea salt
- 1/2 t. smooth dijon mustard
- 3/4 C. light flavor 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (such as Arbequina) or Avocado Oil
Directions:
In a wide mouthed mason jar or comparably sized container, add the ingredients in the order listed above. Let it set for a moment to make sure the egg yolk is settled at the bottom.
Place an immersion blender fully at the bottom of the container and start slowly pulsing the mixture. Within a few seconds, you will see mayonnaise start to form at the bottom of the jar. Slowly move the blender up and down to finish forming the mayonnaise. The whole process should take no more than a minute.
Scrape the sides of the jar and cover with a lid. Place in the refrigerator and use within one week.
