Don’t you hate when you run out of mayonnaise? Especially when you just assembled a perfect sandwich and need a splash of mayo to make it over the top. Well, one solution for this problem is to leave everything, go to the grocery and buy a jar of mayonnaise. Or you could just make some yourself in a few minutes. Making mayonnaise is fairly easy and quick, and you’ll only need few ingredients. If you want to learn how, check out this simple recipe below.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sunflower or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar will also do the trick)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Take a bowl (tall and narrow if possible) and mix the egg, mustard, lemon juice, white vinegar, and salt.
2. Mix the ingredients with an immersion blender for 30 seconds. If you don’t have this type of blender, you can do it by hand. In the latter case, whisk until all the ingredients are mixed.
3. Slowly add oil while you continue to blend. Don’t pour all the oil at once if you want your mayo to have a nice texture.
4. Blend until you get a thick consistency.
5. And that’s about it. Splash some on your sandwich and put the rest in a jar. The homemade mayo will last around seven days if stored in a fridge.
