To start, you'll need a blender or an immersion blender. Trust me, having the right tools makes this process a joy, not a chore. In my first attempts, I tried using a whisk, and let’s say it was a workout I didn’t sign up for. Just grab that blender!

In your blender, add the egg, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Blend these ingredients together for about 30 seconds until you have a nice mixture.

Here's where the magic happens. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the liquid coconut oil. It’s crucial to add it gradually. This helps emulsify the ingredients, leading to that perfect creamy consistency.

Continue blending the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy. This should take around 30 seconds. If your mayonnaise is too thick, you can add a spoonful of water to loosen it up. After making this several times, I learned that every batch can be a bit different based on the temperature of your kitchen. If it seems too thin, just keep blending!

Now, it’s time for the taste test! If you feel like it needs more salt or acid, add a bit more lemon juice. This step is crucial for balancing flavors.

Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, transfer your Whole30 Coconut Oil Mayonnaise to an airtight container. It can last up to a week in the fridge. Believe me, it’ll be hard to resist finishing it before then!
