Whole30 Homemade Mayonnaise

The mayonnaise came out really smooth and delicious. I never missed the usual mayonnaise I am getting from the store. Apart from it's delicious, it's also healthier than store-bought ones.

Ingredients

  • 310 ml (1 ¼ cup) extra light olive oil divided
  • 1 egg room temperature and a good one (preferably fresh)
  • ¼ tsp mustard powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In your food processor, combine egg, 60 ml (¼ cuextra light olive oil, mustard powder and salt. Mix well.
  2. Turn on the food processor on the lowest speed. While it is running, very slowly drizzle 1 cup of extra light olive oil. This may take some time, but it works.
  3. After adding all remaining oil and the mixture has emulsified, remove the blade from the food processor. Add lemon juice one at a time and gently mix with a spoon. (Please note that while adding lemon juice, the mixture becomes thinner.)
