Have you ever set out to make your own mayonnaise only to have it not thicken properly? This recipe contains super healthy ingredients, is easy to make and always works. The trick to having your mayonnaise set up every time is to add the Dijon mustard at the end of blending. We’ve used a combination of EVOO and avocado oil but you can use just one, or any other healthy oil of your choosing such as macadamia nut oil.
Store leftovers for 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
NOTE: This recipe contains raw egg

- 1 teaspoon(s) mustard, dijon

Instructions
- Combine the oils and set aside.
- Place the egg yolks and lemon juice in a bowl. With electric beaters or an immersion blender or a brisk whisking, briefly blend the ingredients together.
