Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Egg yolk room temp
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- ¼ tsp kosher Salt
- 1 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
- In your food processor, add the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, and vinegar.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pulse to mix two to three times.
- Set the food processor to spin and slowly pour in the oil from the top
- The egg and oil will combine and turn offwhite, emulsifying into mayonnaise
- If it becomes too thick, use a ½ teaspoon cold water to thin it out.
- Spoon into a resealable jar and chill until ready to use.
Notes
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so they blend together more easily. This will also help create a creamy texture.
- If you don't have a food processor, use an immersion blender or electric mixer with the whisk attachment.
- For a tangier zing, use lime juice instead of lemon juice.
