Ingredients

  • 1 pasteurized egg

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/4 tsp. white pepper

  • 1 cup avocado or walnut oil, or extra-light tasting olive oil

Directions

  1. In a wide-mouth pint jar or 2-cup liquid measuring cup combine first five ingredients (through cayenne pepper). Slowly add oil. If necessary, let stand until oil separates from egg mixture.

  2. Using an immersion blender, hold blender against bottom of jar and blend 20 to 30 seconds.
