This is a basic paleo mayonnaise. There’s not a lot to it, but you do need to make sure you follow the directions!
Ingredients
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light olive oil or grape seed oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mayo is more about the process than anything, so listen up.
- Don’t be that person who says their egg is at room temperature when we all know it’s not.
- Think ahead and get your egg out about an hour before you plan on making your mayonnaise.
- Now crack your egg and place it in your blender.
- Tip: The better the blender, the better the mayo. What you are about to do is called emulsification. You need a blender you can rely on. I personally love my Vitamix. but I’ve used the Ninja and it’s worked for this too.
- Add the lemon juice, ground mustard, salt, and ¼ cup of the oil to your cracked egg in the blender.
- Put the lid on and blend it on high for 12 seconds. (I just count in my head) Next add ¼ cup more oil. Blend for 10-15 more seconds. What you are looking for is the oil and egg to begin to thicken. Thus the emulsification.
- Add the last ¼ cup oil. Blend another 10 seconds. Be careful not to over blend. I’ve done this before and it is VERY hard to recover your mayo once you’ve over blended.
- Your mayonnaise should be thick and a little tricky get out into a container. I use a rubber spatula because mine is usually so thick it doesn’t want to pour out at all.
- Remember to wash your blender really really well! The last thing you want is a smoothie or protein shake in the morning tasting like mayo. (I’ve been there)
- This mayo will keep for 2-3 weeks and makes about 1 cup of mayo.
