How to make mayonnaise in a blender?

Gather your ingredients

To make mayonnaise in a blender, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Set up your blender

Before you begin making mayonnaise, make sure your blender is clean and in good working condition. Ensure that the lid is securely fastened and that the paddle attachment or blade is properly in place.

Blend the egg yolk and mustard

Add the egg yolk and Dijon mustard to the blender. Blend them together on low speed until they are well combined.

Slowly add the oil

With the blender running on low speed, begin to slowly pour the vegetable oil into the blender in a thin, steady stream. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Adding the oil slowly allows it to emulsify with the egg yolk and mustard, creating a creamy texture.

Add vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper

Once all of the oil has been incorporated into the mixture and the mayonnaise has thickened, you can add the white vinegar or lemon juice. This will give the mayonnaise a tangy flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and blend for a few more seconds until everything is well combined.

Congratulations, you’ve just made mayonnaise in a blender! You can now transfer your homemade mayonnaise to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes, from sandwiches and salads to dips and dressings. Making your own mayonnaise allows you to control the ingredients and customize the flavor to your liking.

By making mayonnaise in a blender, you can save time and effort compared to making it by hand using a whisk. The blender does all the hard work of emulsifying the oil and egg yolk for you, resulting in a creamy and smooth mayonnaise.
