Ingredients
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup light olive oil or a neutral oil like grapeseed
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- Note: Consider using pasteurized eggs for safety.
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the egg, lemon juice (or vinegar), and Dijon mustard. Blend on low until the ingredients are well mixed.
- With the blender running on low, slowly begin to drizzle in the oil, starting with a few drops and gradually increasing to a steady stream.
- This process should create a thick, emulsified base.
- Once the base has thickened, add the ground turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Blend until the spices are well incorporated and the mayonnaise turns a vibrant golden color.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the mayonnaise is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of warm water until you reach the desired consistency.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra health boost, add a pinch of ground ginger along with the other spices.
- This golden mayonnaise can be used as a base for dressings or sauces by adding additional lemon juice or vinegar to thin it out.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
