Whip up silky-smooth, low-fat homemade mayonnaise in just five minutes with this easy immersion blender recipe that’s as versatile as it is delicious! By swapping traditional egg yolks for pasteurized egg whites, this recipe creates a lighter, healthier version of classic mayo without sacrificing creamy texture or tangy flavor. With a simple combination of Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and light neutral oil, the emulsion comes together effortlessly using an immersion blender. Perfectly customizable, the recipe offers tantalizing variations—try garlicky richness, smoky paprika, or fresh herby notes to elevate any dish. Ideal for sandwiches, salads, or dips, this mayo is a must-have staple for health-conscious cooks looking to add a homemade touch!
Add the egg white, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and lemon juice to a tall, narrow container that fits the head of your immersion blender.
Slowly pour the oil on top of the other ingredients, allowing it to float on the surface.
Insert the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Start blending at the bottom without moving the blender and watch as the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
Slowly lift the immersion blender upwards to incorporate the oil at the top until the mixture is fully blended and creamy.
If the mayonnaise seems too thick, blend in up to 1 tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
