Learn how to make 4-ingredient mayo in just 3 minutes using an immersion blender. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for sandwiches, salads, dips, and more!
Prepare the ingredients: In a tall, narrow container (like a mason jar), crack 1 egg, then add 150 ml (⅔ cup) sunflower oil, ½ teaspoon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the ingredients: Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container, covering the egg yolk. Turn the blender on and keep it stationary for about 10-15 seconds, allowing the mixture to emulsify and thicken at the bottom.
Slowly lift the blender: Once the mayo starts to form, slowly lift the blender upwards to incorporate the rest of the oil and ingredients. This should take another 10-15 seconds until all the ingredients are combined and the mayo is thick.
Store or serve: Your 4-ingredient mayo is ready to use! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
