Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup avocado oil (extra light olive oil would also work!)
• 1 large egg
• 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine the egg, dijon mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, (honey if using) and salt into a tall container or mason jar.
   
2. Pour the oil over the top of the ingredients.
   
3. Insert the immersion blender into the container, touching the bottom. Start blending, don't move the blender much for just the first few seconds to allow the eggs and oil to begin to emulsify. Slowly lift and tilt the blender to incorporate the rest of the oil. Continue blending until it is thick and creamy, it should only take about a minute!

Notes

**Because homemade mayonnaise lacks the preservatives that store-bought versions rely on, it’s best to whip up smaller amounts that can be consumed in a short time. This recipe makes around 1 cup, and it should be stored in a sealed container in the fridge, where it’ll stay fresh for about a week.A Note on Raw Eggs: Raw eggs are a common ingredient in homemade dressings. But if you are concerned about using raw eggs, you can buy pasteurized eggs also.
