Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard or Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup avocado oil (or vegetable/light olive oil)
Instructions
- Gather Equipment
- Use an immersion blender and a tall, narrow container (like a mason jar) for the best results.
- Blend the Base Ingredients
- Add the egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt to the container. Blend until smooth.
- Emulsify the Oil
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. Gradually adding the oil ensures a thick and creamy consistency. Blend until the mixture reaches a mayonnaise-like texture.
- Taste and Adjust
- Taste your aioli and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice as desired. Blend briefly to incorporate any changes.
- Store and Use
- Transfer the aioli to an airtight container and refrigerate. It’s best enjoyed within a week.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help the emulsion form properly.
- Experiment with flavors by adding minced garlic, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs for a personalized twist.
- If the aioli separates, fix it by blending a new egg yolk and slowly adding the broken mixture to re-emulsify.
