  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) sea salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 ml) avocado oil
  • Special Equipment
  • Immersion blender
  • Wide-mouth pint-sized mason jar
  • Mayonnaise Variation
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Cinco de Mayo Basic Mayo, ¼ cup restaurant-style salsa
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Dijon Mayo Basic Mayo, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Honey Mustard Mayo Basic Mayo, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) powdered erythritol
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Pesto Mayo Basic Mayo, 2 tablespoons dairy-free pesto
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Roasted Garlic Mayo Basic Mayo, Cloves from 1 whole bulb roasted garlic (mashed)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Sun-Dried Tomato Mayo Roasted Garlic Mayo, ¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Dilly Mayo Roasted Garlic Mayo, ¼ cup chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Balsamic Mayo Roasted Garlic Mayo, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Buffalo Mayo Roasted Garlic Mayo, 2 tablespoons Buffalo wing sauce
  • Pro-Tips for Perfect Mayo
  • Use a wide-mouth jar that is just slightly wider than the head of your immersion blender. This close fit is crucial for creating the emulsion.
  • For a more stable and foolproof result, use an egg that is at room temperature, not cold from the fridge.
  • If your mayo breaks, you can often save it. In a clean jar, add a fresh egg yolk and a teaspoon of mustard. Blend, then very slowly drizzle the broken mixture back in while the blender is running.

Method
 

  1. How to Make Immersion Blender Mayo
  2. Add all Basic Mayonnaise to a wide-mouth pint-sized mason jar in the order they are listed, starting with the lemon juice and ending with the oil. Allow the to settle for 20-30 seconds.
  3. Insert your immersion blender, pressing it firmly to the bottom of the jar.
  4. Turn it on high speed and hold it steady for 20 seconds. You will see the mayonnaise magically start to emulsify and thicken from the bottom up.
  5. Once the bottom is thick and creamy, slowly tilt and lift the blender up and down to incorporate the remaining oil from the top until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  6. To create a flavored variation, transfer the fresh mayonnaise to a bowl and stir in your desired variation until well combined. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  7. Keep the immersion blender pressed firmly to the bottom of the jar until the bottom half has emulsified. Lifting it too early can cause the mayo to break.
