Homemade Mayo Recipe - Easy Italian Condiment

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Combine Ingredients

    In a tall container, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and salt.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature for best emulsification.
  2. Blend

    Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture for about 30 seconds until smooth.

    Keep the blender at the bottom of the container initially.
  3. Add Oil Slowly

    With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the mixture thickens.

    Don't rush this step; adding the oil too quickly can prevent emulsification.
  4. Check Consistency

    Once all the oil is incorporated, check the consistency and taste.

    If too thick, you can add a teaspoon of water to adjust.
  5. Store

    Transfer the homemade mayo to a clean jar and refrigerate.

    Use within one week for best freshness.
