Steps
Add the egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt to the jar that came with your immersion blender. Slowly pour the oil on top and let it settle for a minute.
Place your stick blender in the jar and press it firmly to the bottom, making sure it's covering the egg yolk. Turn it on and keep it pressed against the bottom of the jar for at least 10 to 15 seconds, without moving it.
Once the mayonnaise starts to emulsify and thicken, slowly move the stick blender up and down to fully combine the ingredients.
Stir the mayonnaise and place in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator.

Mariah on 2025-06-07 (5 stars): I have made my mayo using your recipe countless times. It’s the easiest recipe and always turned out out well. Thank you Lisa.
Liz on 2025-06-02 (5 stars): I love this Mayo; it tastes like you bought it at the store and you don't have all the additives. So easy to make; takes less than 5 minutes.
Diane K. on 2025-06-02 (5 stars): Don't judge me, but I was raised by a Miracle Whip mom and pretty much detest every mayonnaise I've tried. Now that I got that confession out of the way, I found a shrimp and cucumber salad recipe that I wanted to make and was afraid that Miracle Whip would be too tangy. Determined to make it with mayo and equally determined to not have a jar of it hanging around, I looked into making my own. The first one I tried was pretty awful, tasting like whipped eggs. Then I found Downshiftology's recipe, and I'm happy to say that I was thrilled with the result. I used avocado oil and the finished product was light with a subtle, pleasant taste and worked beautifully in the salad I wanted to make. Best of all, the family and guests loved it. I told them that I made the mayo myself, but didn't bother telling them how easy it was. lol
I also wanted to thank the creator of this recipe for the detailed instructions and tips to make it come out as delightful as it did.
Sharon on 2025-05-26 (5 stars): Turned out perfectly…I used half rapeseed oil, half vegetable and organic cider vinegar. The mayonnaise has a beautiful buttery colour. Loving not having to buy processed mayo now!
