Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canola oil or avocado oil

Method
 

  1. In a jar or bowl, add the egg, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Place your immersion blender at the bottom of the jar. Start blending and, at the same time, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream.
  3. Keep blending until the mixture thickens and emulsifies.
  4. Once combined and creamy, transfer the condiment to an airtight jar.
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Oil Tips: Use a neutral-flavored oil like canola or avocado oil for the best taste. Avoid strong-flavored oils like olive oil.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For proper emulsification, ensure your egg is at room temperature.
  • Customizations: Add garlic, herbs, or spices to customize the flavor.
