Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cups olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional - monk fruit may also be used

Instructions

Using an Immersion Blender

  • Add ingredients in the order given to 2 - 4 cup container. 
  • Place immersion blender to the bottom of the container.
  • Turn immersion blender on and very slowly using a circular motion, raise it to the top while blending. This should take about 30 seconds.
  • Place mayonnaise in refrigerator if not using immediately.

Using a Blender or Food Processor

  • In the blender or food processor, whisk the egg.
  • In a slow and steady stream, add the olive oil.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

My preferred method of making mayonnaise is with an immersion blender because it is quicker and has less clean up.
