The secret to fool-proof mayo
The secret to truly fool-proof mayonnaise lies in the emulsification process, and this method simplifies it dramatically. Forget slowly drizzling oil while whisking; we’re using a stick blender for guaranteed success. Start by placing all your ingredients—eggs, lemon juice, mustard, and seasonings—into a tall, narrow container suitable for your stick blender. Then, add only a quarter of your chosen oil. Submerge the blender and, on low speed, blend until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. Now, with the blender still running, slowly and steadily stream in the remaining oil. This gradual addition allows the emulsion to form perfectly, resulting in a thick, creamy, and completely fool-proof homemade mayonnaise every single time.
Variations and Recipes using this easy mayonnaise recipe
This fool-proof mayo recipe is a fantastic base for countless variations. Experiment with oils, especially avocado oil, which can drastically differ in flavor. Aim for a mild, light-tasting avocado oil for optimal results. Alternatively, for a classic, creamy white mayo, consider using sunflower oil. You can also infuse it with spices or herbs to create unique condiments. The possibilities are endless!

Easy Mayonnaise Ingredients
Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients
In a tall, narrow container suitable for a stick blender, add the egg, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add about 1/4 of the oil.
-
Emulsify
Place the stick blender fully into the container, ensuring it reaches the bottom. Turn the blender on low speed and blend continuously until the mixture at the bottom begins to thicken and turn pale yellow. This initial emulsification should happen quickly.
-
Slowly Add Remaining Oil
With the blender still running on low speed, very slowly and steadily pour the remaining 3/4 cup of avocado oil into the container in a thin, continuous stream. Keep the blender firmly pressed against the bottom of the container.
-
Continue Blending
As you add the oil, the mayonnaise will thicken and become creamy. Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is smooth and thick.
If the mayonnaise becomes too thick or "gloopy," add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water while blending on low speed. This will help to loosen the emulsion and create a smoother consistency. Add the water slowly, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
