Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pasteurized egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt plus more to taste

Equipment

  • Immersion blender
  • Food processor
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by collecting all your ingredients. Ensure that the egg yolk is at room temperature for optimal emulsification.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature egg yolk and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until well combined.
  3. Next, add the fresh lemon juice to the bowl. This will contribute to the flavor and help stabilize the emulsion.
  4. Using your immersion blender or food processor, start blending the egg mixture on low speed. It’s essential to ensure that all ingredients are well incorporated before adding the oil.
  5. With the blender running, very slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. Start with just a few drops and gradually increase the flow as the mixture begins to thicken.
  6. Once all the oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, add salt to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasoning as per your preference.
  7. Transfer your Keto Mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a garlic aioli, add minced garlic to the mayonnaise.
  • Mix in fresh herbs like dill or basil for a refreshing twist.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne can add a spicy kick.
  • If it thickens too much, stir in water or lemon juice to loosen it up.
