Making your own mayonnaise at home is easy and rewarding.
By combining simple ingredients such as egg, oil, lemon, vinegar, and seasonings, you can make a creamy and flavorful condiment that exceeds the taste and quality of store-bought mayonnaise. I can’t even remember the last time I bought mayonnaise at the grocery store, 🙂
I strongly recommend using an immersion blender and its mixing cup. It will make a huge difference! While making mayonnaise by hand is possible, it’s a lot of work and time-consuming, requiring a significant amount of whisking. Additionally, using a whisk or food processor to mix mayonnaise often results in a less thick consistency compared to the immersion blender.
Whether used as a spread, a base for dressings, or to elevate other dishes, this homemade mayonnaise will add a delicious touch to your culinary creations.
I hope you like this recipe.
Enjoy it!
Creamy Homemade Mayonnaise
Equipment
- Immersion blender with blending jar
Ingredients
- 1 whole egg, room temperature
- 1 cup avocado or grapeseed oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider or red vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon honey, optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the blending jar that came with the immersion blender.
- Using the highest speed setting of the blender, blend the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- As the mayonnaise begins to emulsify and thicken, slowly move the stick blender up and down to ensure thorough mixing.
- Once the oil is fully incorporated and the mixture has thickened, taste the mayonnaise for seasoning. Adjust with more salt if necessary.
- For a touch of sweetness, consider adding the honey and adjust to your preferred taste.
- Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container. While it can be used immediately, refrigerating it for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Store the mayonnaise in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
