I had left over chicken in the fridge from last night’s meal. As I stared into the lunchtime possibilities, I thought about chicken salad. I love chicken salad and so does my team. It was decided – chicken salad. The only thing I didn’t have was mayonnaise. No problem because I make my own and it literally takes no more than 5 minutes!
Mayonnaise is so easy to make and soooo good when homemade – you may never buy mayonnaise again! For some strange reason condiments are often overlooked when creating homemade fare in the kitchen. I can tell you that quality organic mayonnaise is hard to find. Either the label shows added ingredients or soy which while I do eat, I try to stay away from added soy “products”. This mayonnaise makes everything taste better
Avocado Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 3/4 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- Combine everything except the avocado oil in a bowl. Whisk until the egg is light yellow and creamy looking. While continually whisking, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of avocado oil. Whisk for one minute longer. Slowly drizzle another 1/4 cup avocado oil while continually whisking. Whisk for another minute. Slowly add the remaining avocado oil while whisking continually. Whisk one last minute and presto! It’s amazing mayonnaise! It can be made in a food processor but whisking by hand is a great arm workout!
