Mayonnaise Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. – freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup – avocado or olive oil

Instructions

How to Make Mayonnaise

  • Start by adding egg (I used a cold egg instead of room temperature eggs), salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and garlic juice into the food processor bowl. You can alternatively follow these instructions why using a whisk in a large bowl or an immersion blender.
  • Start pulsing it on high for 30 seconds.
  • Next, slowly drip avocado oil through the opening of the food processor lid and pulse again for a minute and a half. Turn the food processor off, scrape down the sides of the bowl and lid with a spatula and beat for 30 more seconds.
  • The mayonnaise consistency should be very thick and not fall off the spoon easily without a good shake. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours before use so all the flavors have time to incorporate.
  • The mayonnaise will thicken even more. Your delicious mayonnaise is ready to be used and served! Read the section below for serving ideas!
