Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters avocado oil
- 60 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
In a pourable container, combine the avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil. It's important to mix the oils before adding them to the egg yolk mixture to ensure an even, stable emulsion.
Step 3
Very slowly, begin drizzling the oil mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously. Start with just a few drops at a time and gradually increase the oil flow as the mayonnaise starts to emulsify. This step is crucial in creating a stable emulsion.
Step 4
Once you have incorporated about half of the oil and the mixture begins to thicken, you can start adding the oil a little more quickly, always whisking continuously.
Step 5
After all the oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, whisk in the white vinegar and water to achieve the desired consistency and brightness.
Step 6
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more lemon juice or salt based on your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar or container. Cover it with a lid and store in the refrigerator. Use within one week for the best quality and taste.
