Description

Homemade mayo is healthier for you than store-bought mayonnaise. There are no preservatives and unknowns in it.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 1/2 t. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 t. white wine vinegar
• 1/4 t. Dijon mustard
• 1/2 t. salt, or to taste
• 3/4 c. canola oil, divided

Steps

1. Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Whisk until blended and bright yellow, about 30 seconds.
2. Using 1/4 teaspoon measure and whisking constantly, add 1/4 cup oil to yolk mixture, a few drops at a time, about 4 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup oil in a very slow thin stream, whisking constantly, until mayonnaise becomes thick, about 8 minutes. (mayonnaise will be lighter in color)
3. Cover and chill.
