Homemade mayo is healthier for you than store-bought mayonnaise. There are no preservatives and unknowns in it.
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
Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Whisk until blended and bright yellow, about 30 seconds.
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)
Cover and chill.
Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
Makes 3/4 cup.
** Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. To avoid the risk of salmonella infection, use pasteurized egg yolk instead.
