Ingredients
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions

- Place an immersion blender at the bottom of the jar.
- Blend without moving for a few seconds until it starts to thicken.
- Slowly lift the blender to fully emulsify until smooth and creamy.
