Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup light olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

Place egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl or tall container. Pour oil on top.

Step 3

Insert an immersion blender so the blade rests at the bottom. Blend for about 15 seconds without moving the blender head to draw the oil slowly down into the egg mixture and help it emulsify. Then, raise the blender slowly and continue blending just until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, taking care not to over-blend.

Step 4

Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 1 week.
