KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender

Ingredients

1 whole egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice, lime juice, or apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup avocado oil

Instructions

Add the whole egg, lemon or lime juice, sea salt, dijon mustard, and avocado oil to a pint jar in the order the ingredients are listed.
Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients into mayonnaise. Start at the bottom and slowly work your way up the jar, watching as the ingredients solidify and turn a rich yellow color. Once the immersion blender reaches the top of the contents of the jar, there should be no more liquid avocado oil or oil pockets left - only thick, solid mayonnaise.
If you see liquid pockets, just run the immersion blender through the mayo again. This entire process should take about 30 seconds.
Serve the mayo right away or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. See the tips section for a trick to make it last longer in the fridge!

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you blend. Using a cold egg with room-temperature oil could cause problems with emulsification.

Add a tiny bit of fresh whey to the jar before you blend and your mayo will last over a month in the fridge since whey can act as a natural preservative.

For mayo lovers - triple the batch and make it in a quart jar if you go through lots of mayo or will be making salad dressings, pasta salads, potato salad, or deviled eggs with your mayo.

Get creative with some add-ins - try a teaspoon of chipotle powder and some red pepper flakes for a spicy mayo, or garlic and herbs for a delicious garlic-herb mayo.
