Crab and Avocado Bites
Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 8 Minutes
Homemade Mayonnaise
1 cup olive oil
1 egg
juice of 1 lemon or vinegar
A pinch of salt
water to thin mayonnaise
Method:
Separate the yolk.
Combine egg yolk and lemon (or vinegar) in a bowl, whisking to mix. Continue whisking constantly, adding the oil in slow and steady.
If the mixture starts to look thick, add in enough water to thin it to the consistency you desire. Add a tsp at a time. Mixture should be thick and fluffy, with your whisk forming ribbons through the mixture.
*If mixture is too runny, either add in egg yolk (if you still have some oil left), or start again.
Add sea salt to taste.
Store in refrigerator and use within 5 days.
