oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while canola oil is less expensive.

Start with one fresh egg yolk at room temperature.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice, 3 teaspoons of vinegar, and more than 1/4 teaspoon of dijon mustard to the mini blender.

Blend the ingredients together before slowly adding the oil.

Use 3/4 cup of avocado oil, adding it very slowly to avoid breaking the emulsion.

Start pouring the oil in drop by drop while the blender is on low until the mixture thickens and you hear it change.

Once the mayonnaise thickens, stop adding oil if the desired consistency is reached.

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean mason jar for storage.
