Creamy Avocado Oil Mayonnaise

1. Blend Initial Ingredients

Start by placing the egg yolk, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, and salt into your blender. Blend these ingredients together for about 15 seconds. This initial blending is crucial as it ensures the base of your mayonnaise is well-mixed and smooth.

2. Add Avocado Oil Slowly

Next, with the blender running on a low speed, very slowly pour in the avocado oil. You can use a funnel with a narrow stem to help with the slow pour. The key here is patience; adding the oil too quickly can prevent the mayonnaise from thickening properly. As you pour, you'll notice the mixture beginning to emulsify, transforming into a thick and creamy texture. This is your cue that the mayonnaise is coming together perfectly.

3. Store the Mayonnaise

Once the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator and be sure to use it within 3 days to enjoy its fresh and delightful flavor.
