Ingredients
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1 Gather the Ingredients
Ensure you have all the necessary ingredients at hand: raw eggs, oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt. If using mustard or lemon juice, have those ready as well.
2 Blend the Eggs and Vinegar
In a tall container suitable for submersive blending, crack the raw eggs. Add the apple cider vinegar (and mustard if using). Using a submersive blender, blend the eggs and vinegar together until well combined.
3 Gradually Add the Oil
With the submersive blender still running, start adding the oil to the container in a slow, steady stream. Continue blending as you pour the oil, allowing it to emulsify with the egg and vinegar mixture. The gradual addition of oil is crucial for achieving the desired consistency.
4 Blend Until Thick and Smooth
As you add the oil, you will notice the mixture thickening and transforming into a velvety mayonnaise. Continue blending until you reach the desired thickness and smoothness. The process typically takes 2-3 minutes.
5 Season with Salt
Once the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, season it with salt to taste. Start with a small amount and gradually add more, tasting as you go, until you achieve the perfect balance.
6 Store and Enjoy
Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator and use within 1 week. Enjoy on sandwiches, burgers, salads, or as a delectable dip for vegetables and fries.

✨ Pro Tips for Perfect Mayonnaise
- Use room temperature eggs: Cold eggs can cause separation. Let them sit out for 30 minutes before starting.
- Choose the right oil: A neutral oil like vegetable, canola, or avocado oil works best. Extra virgin olive oil can be too strong and bitter.
- Add mustard: A teaspoon of Dijon mustard not only adds flavor but also helps stabilize the emulsion.
- Pour slowly: Adding oil too quickly is the most common cause of broken mayonnaise.
- If it breaks: Don't panic! Start with a fresh egg yolk and slowly incorporate the broken mixture.
- Experiment: Try adding garlic, herbs, spices, or citrus zest for custom flavors.
