Paleo Mayonnaise

Paleo Mayonnaise Recipe from Nom Nom Paleo

1 large egg yolk
1/4 tsp kosher or celtic sea salt
1/4 tsp dijon-style mustard
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp distilled white vinegar (I use white wine vinegar)
3/4 C macadamia nut or avocado oil (I use avocado oil)

In a medium bowl, whisk together to yolk, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar for about 30 seconds or until the yolk thickens and brightens.  Pour about 1/4 cup of the oil in a slow and steady motion while whisking the mixture to create the emulsion.  After the oil is incorporated, add half of the remaining oil and whisk vigorously to incorporate.  Once emulsified, repeat with the rest of the oil and whisk vigorously to incorporate.  You should have a mayonnaise that is thick enough to hold its shape.
