Ingredients

1 egg yolk pastured preferred, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice use a real lemon
1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
3/4 cup avocado oil not olive oil

Instructions

In a blender add the egg yolk, lemon juice, salt, and vinegar. Blend briefly in the food processor, blender, or with a whisk to combine. If using a whisk, see note 1.
With the blender running or while whisking rapidly, slowly add the oil just a few drops at a time until the mixture starts to thicken. If you have a food processor with the small hole in the food chute you can add the oil all at once and it will drip in.
Pour in the oil in a steady stream and blend until the mayo reaches a spreadable thickness--1 to 2 minutes at the most. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Note 1: If using a whisk and bowl, you'll want to hold the bowl steady while you whisk with one hand and add oil with the other. To do this, wet a dish towel, roll it up and curl the towel into a circle on the counter. Set the bowl in the towel to stabilize it.
