Whip up this creamy avocado oil mayo in minutes! It’s fresh, flavorful, and way more fun (and cheaper!) than store-bought.
In a food processor, combine the egg and Dijon mustard. Pulse until well combined.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. The mixture will begin to thicken and emulsify. Take your time with this step to ensure the mixture doesn't separate and achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
Once all the oil is incorporated, stop the food processor and remove the lid. Add the vinegar (or lemon juice), salt and pepper to taste. Blend again until fully combined.
Taste your mayonnaise and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a little more vinegar or lemon juice.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
