Equipment
- Food Processor OR Small Mixing Bowl and Immersion Blender/Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ tsp dry mustard or regular mustard
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 c vegetable or canola oil
- ½ tsp salt optional
Instructions
- Combine egg, vinegar, mustard, salt if using and 1/4 cup oil in food processor or mixing bowl. Process on low until the eggs become frothy.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl down and turn the processor back on low. While it is running, slowly drizzle the remaining 3/4 cup oil into the mixture.
- Continue to process while you slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture. As you process, your mixture will take on the consistency of mayo. It is finished when the oil is fully combined and emulsified.
Notes
You may omit the salt in the recipe, however, it will change the taste of the final product.
This is a very basic homemade mayo recipe. You may change the type of oil that you use to change the taste if you wish. Olive oil and avocado oil are great substitutions for canola or vegetable oils.
