Homemade mayonnaise is such a treat. It’s very simple to make, too. I found this recipe and it doesn't have any sugar that is added to other recipes.  Perfect for our Keto WOE.

Makes approximately 1 cup

Ingredients

1 large egg at room temperature
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 cup neutral flavored oil, avacado, grapeseed, safflower or canola are best.  Or mix your oil 1/2 and 1/2 with olive oil.
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, optional

Directions

Add egg, mustard, vinegar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and process for 20 seconds. 

Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, turn the food processor on then begin to add the oil in tiny drops until about 1/4 of the oil has been added. 

It’s at this point that you should notice the mixture is beginning to thicken and emulsify. Once this happens, you don't have to worry about how slowly the oil is added. Add the remaining oil in a very thin stream.

Once all of the oil has been added, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and process for an extra 10 seconds. Taste mayonnaise for seasoning then add salt, lemon juice or extra vinegar to taste.

Tips from the pros

Room temperature ingredients are best when making mayonnaise at home. If you’re not able to wait for the egg to come to room temperature, submerge it in lukewarm (not hot) water for a couple of minutes. 

If you have a large food processor, consider using the smaller bowl attachment that came with your processor so the bowl is not too large for the amount of mayonnaise this recipe makes.
