Homemade Mayonnaise

This homemade mayonnaise is a rich, creamy spread with a tangy twist—made with balsamic vinegar for a deeper, slightly sweet flavor. Perfect for sandwiches, dressings, or dips, it adds a gourmet touch to everyday meals with just a handful of fresh ingredients.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings: 40
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 TBSP white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tsp Diamond kosher salt use more or less to taste (if using another brand may need less)

Equipment

  • 1 Immersion blender optional

Method
 

  1. Add the egg, mustard, balsamic vinegar, avocado oil, salt, and pepper to a mason jar (in that order)
  2. Add the immersion blender into the jar going all the way to the bottom, making sure the egg is inside the blender blades
  3. Turn on the immersion blender, DO NOT LIFT. You should see mayonnaise forming at the bottom of the jar.
  4. Continue blending until you see that half of the jar is mayonnaise with some oil at the top.
  5. Gradually tilt the blender to let more oil into the blades. As more mayonnaise forms you can start to bring the blender up slowly.
  6. Once most of the ingredients are well blended you can start to raise and lower the blender until all ingredients are done.
If blending by hand
  1. Add all ingredients except the oil to a large bowl
  2. Whisk together
  3. While whisking slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture. A very slow drizzle in the beginning is needed to incorporate all of the ingredients
  4. Continue whisking until well incorporated
Enjoy!
  1. This is the best mayonnaise you've ever tasted! Enjoy on your favorite sandwiches, use to make chicken or egg salad, or incorporate into your favorite salad dressings.
  2. Fresh mayonnaise will only last a week or two in the refrigerator so use quickly or share with family and friends.
