1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps
Place all the ingredients in the order listed in a tall container or wide-mouthed mason jar. (Be sure the opening of the jar is wide enough to fit the top of an immersion blender.)
Press the head of the immersion blender into the bottom of the jar. Hold it touching the bottom and blend for 15 seconds. Begin to move the immersion blender up and down throughout the mixture, but not breaking the surface, until the remaining oil has been emulsified into the egg, and the mixture is thick and off-white. Season with more salt or lemon juice to taste. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Tina on 2026-04-10 (5 stars): Another GREAT recipe. I have tried to make mayo with a stick blender SO many times and failed. Your tip to not let the blender break the surface finally made it click for me on how to make it...and it worked perfectly. So delicious, this one is now in my recipe book, no need to try another one. Thank you!!!
