1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Paleo Mayonnaise Avocado Oil

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Having everything ready ensures a smooth preparation process.

Step 2: Blend Egg, Mustard, and Lemon Juice

In your immersion blender cup or food processor, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Blending these together first helps create a stable emulsion.

Step 3: Slowly Add Avocado Oil

With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. This gradual addition is key for achieving that creamy texture.

Step 4: Blend Until Thickened

Continue blending until the mixture thickens and emulsifies. This usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute, so be patient.

Step 5: Season with Salt

Once thickened, add salt to taste. This simple step elevates the flavor of your mayo.

Step 6: Adjust Flavor if Needed

At this point, you can adjust the acidity or saltiness. A splash more lemon juice can brighten it up if you prefer.

Step 7: Transfer to Storage Jar

Carefully pour the mayo into a glass jar for storage. This method keeps it fresh and easy to access.

Step 8: Refrigerate and Enjoy

Store your homemade mayo in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within a week, though I doubt it will last that long!

Pro Tip: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best emulsion.

Tips for the Best Paleo Mayonnaise Avocado Oil

Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture in your mayo.
Make sure the egg is at room temperature to help with emulsification.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using cold ingredients can prevent proper emulsification.
