Description

Misty Mayo has a nice lemon twist to it, so if you want a traditional mayo flavor, drop the lemon. 

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon zest (½ lemon)
  • 1 cup avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Blend or process the first six ingredients for 10 seconds: egg, apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, pink salt, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  2. Scrape sides of blender or processor with a spatula, if needed.
  3. With blender or processor running, slowly add the avocado oil through the top until emulsified(1). This step is crucial.
  4. Enjoy as a dip with fresh veggies, a dressing for salads, as a spread, or in any recipe that calls for mayo.
(1) Emulsified. Mixing two liquids that normally wouldn’t mix together until they form an emulsion. The simple definition of an emulsion is a liquid, sauce, or cream that is a result from mixing two or more ingredients together that normally would not mix. We’ll save the science for another post.
