Ingredients
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
- 2 anchovy fillets
- ½ tsp compliant Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Crack egg into a Mason jar. Using a hand blender, slowly add oil as you blend, pausing to let incorporate. Continue to slowly add more oil.

If you add oil too quickly,it will separate. Every time I make it, it’s a little different – so if I need to thicken it, I add 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise.

I saw your video of this on IG today. Looks delicious I am doing my 1st whole 30 starting Oct 1st!!! I was thinking a garlic press might grating the egg yolks a little easier. But I can’t wait to make some of your yummie recipes. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

You want them to really be firm (not mushy) and it’s pretty simple with the grater and takes just a couple of minutes. Come over to check out our clean sweep holiday reset on instagram! Thanks for following.

Do you think it would OK to sub avocado oil? I get olive oil from my family’s farm in Greece and it is extremely strong so I’m afraid it would be too strong for a dressing and might even make it bitter.

Great question, the lighter in flavor the better. The avocado oil will be a bit different in flavor, but delicious. Would love to hear how it turned out!
