Whole30 1-Minute Mayo (and Hot Dip)

/

I have never liked mayo, but I eat this by the spoonful! Whether you need mayo to make chicken salad, kid-friendly lettuce wraps, or to have on hand as a condiment, this 1-minute recipe is so easy! No need to use a room temperature egg or drizzle in oil . . . just throw four ingredients into a wide-mouth jar and blend with an immersion blender. Take it a step further and make my famous* “hot dip”, by adding your favorite hot sauce.

*and by famous, I mean all four of my kids are OBSESSED with my hot dip, and literally dip everything in it (even apples and cantaloupe).

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup avocado oil

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 generous pinch of salt

  • For hot dip, add your favorite hot sauce to taste (I recommend starting with 2 tbsp, and stirring in more after it’s blended)

 

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a wide mouth jar (make sure the opening is big enough to fit in your immersion blender).

  2. Place an immersion blender all the way down to the bottom of the jar.

  3. Holding it at the bottom, blend on high for 30 seconds.

  4. Slowly pull the immersion blender up, tilting it from side to side, until all of the oil has been incorporated.

Notes:

  • I like to make a double batch of mayo, then use or separate what I need as mayo, and then simply stir in hot sauce to make Hot Dip.

  • Instead of measuring my hot sauce I usually count the number of “spanks”, and aim for 40-50 spanks per batch.

  • Store leftover mayo/hot dip in the fridge. I use the expiration date on my egg carton for the expiration date of the mayo, but we eat it so frequently that I never go more than a week in my fridge.

  • Concerned about consuming a raw egg? Don’t worry, the acidity of the lemon juice will neutralize anything potentially harmful. Of course, use common sense and don’t let it sit out at a July picnic, though.
