Ingredients

  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 cup and ¼ cup oil separated (for Whole30 use a compatible oil)
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions

  • You can use a mini food processor or a hand mixer (immersion blender) to make homemade mayonnaise, just follow the same steps.
  • Take your egg out in advance because you want to use an egg at room temperature. If you forgot, don't worry! HINT: If you forgot to take your egg out, just place it in some warm water for about 10 minutes to bring the temperature of the egg up to room temperature.
  • Place the egg in a jar that is wide enough to fit your emersion blender.
  • Add salt and dry mustard and only ¼ cup of the oil. HINT: Only add ¼ cup of the oil, do not add all the oil at once because it will prevent the oil from emulsifying properly.
  • Begin to blend all of the ingredients. Move your blender up and down and from side to side until the oil and egg begin to emulsify.
  • Add the remaining oil a little at a time, waiting each time for the contents to emulsify before adding more oil.
  • Once you have incorporated all of the oil, add lemon juice. You can add the lemon juice and manually stir it in with a spoon.
  • Store in a jar in the refrigerator.
