Gather a quart jar for making mayonnaise.

Place 1 whole large egg at room temperature in the bottom of the jar.

Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1.5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to the jar.

Add 0.25 teaspoon of dry mustard powder, mashing out any lumps.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Pour 1 cup of neutral flavored oil (avocado oil) on top of the other ingredients in the jar.

Insert the immersion blender into the jar, keeping it at the bottom.

Blend for about 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture starts to emulsify.

Start moving the immersion blender up and down to continue emulsifying the mayonnaise until thickened, which should take about a minute.

If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a little warm water (about a teaspoon) to adjust the consistency.
