Foolproof Mayo - Whole30 Paleo Compliant

Full instructions found here-
http://thehealthyfoodie.com/fail-proof-home-made-paleo-mayo-whole30-compliant/

Here’s what you’ll need to make a basic homemade mayonnaise:

Equipment:
•1 glass jar, which you will use to both make AND store the mayo. Make sure that you use A TALL AND NARROW JAR with an opening that’s just wide enough to accommodate your stick blender. I like to use a 500ml (one pint) wide mouth Mason jar like the one in the pictures.
•An immersion blender. That’s the magic tool that’ll make your mayonnaise come together so easily. And yes, it must ABSOLUTELY be a stick blender. Nothing else will work.

Ingredients:
•One WHOLE large or extra-large fresh egg (apparently size does matter here. Make sure you use a large or extra large egg, else you might need to add an extra one)
•One cup Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil
•The juice of half a lemon or lime (about 2-3 teaspoons) or an equivalent quantity of vinegar. Any vinegar will do, but my favorite one to use is Apple Cider Vinegar.
•A generous pinch of salt

Dump Ranch

Dump Ranch For full instructions go to- http://www.whole-sisters.com/dump-ranch/

Ingredients
•1 egg
•1 cup "light" olive oil (I plan to try avocado oil)
•1 tablespoon lemon juice
•2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon pepper
•3/4 teaspoon onion powder
•3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
•1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk, stirred
•1 handful fresh herb of choice or 3 tablespoons dried parsley

Instructions
Blend with an immersion blender in a wide mouth mason jar for approximately one minute! Don't start incorporating herbs until the last 15 seconds or it will turn your ranch green. Store in the fridge up to one week, if you still have any left!

Notes
•3 tablespoons dried parsley may be used in place of fresh herbs, really any dried herbs you like will work.
•If using fresh, we grab a large handful. Our favorites are cilantro, parsley and dill.
•Start with the immersion blender at the bottom of your jar working your way up to the top, don't start moving your blender upwards until you see it thickening up.
•We get this question all the time, what do I do if my ranch is too thin? Well there may be a couple reasons why. First did you use full fat "canned" coconut milk? This plays a big factor in how much it thickens up. If you want a dip like consistency use only the solid cream, but for those that like a runnier dressing use more liquid. Sometimes just being in the fridge a few hours will thicken it right up.
•Make sure you're using an immersion blender for guaranteed success, a regular blender will make it tricky to emulsify it all correctly.
•Use a small container, we like using a mason jar or salad dressing container.

•HERE IS THE TRICK TO SAVING YOUR DUMP RANCH....if your ranch never thickens it probably didn't emulsifying properly, just add another egg! Yep, that's all it takes to quickly save all those ingredients.
