🥑 Ingredients You’ll Need
A few important notes about the ingredients:
- Avocado Oil: Neutral-flavored oil, like avocado, is a non-negotiable ingredient. You can make one-minute mayo with olive oil, but do NOT -I repeat do NOT use extra virgin olive oil.
- Lemon Juice: A splash of citric acid form half of a lemon adds subtle tangy flavor and helps thicken the mayonaiise.
- Egg: For the best results, be sure to use a fresh, room temperature egg.
- Ground Mustard Powder: gives it a little zing!
- Salt & Pepper: to enhance every flavor.

🤓 Recipe Tips
- Make sure you’re working with room temperature ingredients. Otherwise, you may have trouble getting the mayonnaise to thicken.
- Blend the mayo with TLC. The slower you lift the immersion blender up through the ingredients, the thicker and creamier your mayo will be.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can throw everything but the oil in a blender or food processor. Start blending and then SLOWLY drizzle in the avocado oil.
