You can make rich, smooth homemade mayonnaise in minutes using just five simple ingredients. This foolproof blender recipe guarantees creamy results every time, giving you a fresh condiment far superior to store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup neutral oil (like canola, grapeseed, or light olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Place the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), and salt into the bottom of a tall, narrow container suitable for an immersion blender, or into a standard blender jar.
  2. Pour the entire 1 cup of oil over the top of the other ingredients. Do not stir.
  3. If using an immersion blender, place the head of the blender all the way to the bottom of the container, covering the yolk. Turn the blender on high speed and hold it steady at the bottom for about 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture starts to emulsify and turn thick and white.
  4. Slowly begin to lift the immersion blender up and down through the mixture until all the oil is incorporated and you have thick, creamy mayonnaise.
  5. If using a standard blender, start blending on low speed. Very slowly, drizzle the oil in a thin, steady stream through the opening in the lid. This slow addition is key to preventing separation.
  6. Once all the oil is added, the mixture will thicken significantly. Blend until completely smooth and thick.
  7. Taste the mayonnaise and add more salt or lemon juice if desired. Transfer the fresh condiment to an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients; cold eggs increase the risk of the emulsion breaking.
  • If your mayonnaise separates, place one egg yolk in a clean bowl and slowly whisk in the separated mixture one teaspoon at a time until it re-emulsifies.
  • This rich and smooth mayo is perfect as a healthy sandwich spread or as a base for dips and dressings.
