Roasted Cauliflower

Homemade Blender Mayo

1 egg (at room temperature)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/4 cup avocado oil*
1/4 cup macadamia oil*
1/2 cup coconut oil

*These oils can be expensive.  Just plain coconut oil is fine too.  Avocado oil has the most neutral flavor if you can afford it.  You can also substitute half of the oil with cooled bacon fat for a bacon mayo.
