Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh basil
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a small pitcher or measuring cup.
While continuously whisking the egg mixture, very slowly drizzle in the combined oils. Start with just a few drops at a time to allow the emulsion to form, then gradually increase the speed to a thin stream. Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise has thickened.
Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, chives, basil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Cover the mayonnaise and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
