Elle's Easy Homemade Mayonnaise

This is very easy and makes up the right amount that I can use it up within a few days and not have it go bad. SO much healthier than the mayonnaise that is out there made from seed / soybean oil. Just put it all in a jar, put the immersion blender on the bottom and, with it on, slowly bring it up as you watch it turn into 'mayo'! That's it. 


Ingredients
  • ¾ cup light olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (Optional)
Steps
  1. Place light olive oil, egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Use a hand-held immersion blender to blend mixture together, placing the blade directly on top of the egg yoke. Pull up the immersion blender slowly when fully emulsified, taking care not to over blend. Store in a tightly closed container; refrigerate until using.
Notes
  • You can substitute avocado oil for olive oil, if desired
