Ingredients

1 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
Kosher salt

Directions

To tall, wide-mouth jar or container, add oil, egg, vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Insert immersion blender and place on bottom of jar. Blend on high, without moving blender, for 45 seconds. Continue blending, moving immersion blender up and down, until all of oil is incorporated and mayonnaise is formed. Keep refrigerated in airtight container up to 4 days.

Keeping the blender on the bottom of the jar for the first 45 seconds of blending is key to producing a silky, ultra-creamy mayo — and preventing the emulsion from breaking.
