Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Neutral oil (like vegetable or grapeseed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh garlic (minced or grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.
Using a small whisk or an immersion blender, begin to add the olive oil drop by drop while continuously whisking. This step is crucial in order to emulsify the mixture properly.
Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can slowly stream in the remaining olive oil while whisking constantly.
Repeat this process with the neutral oil, adding it in a steady stream while whisking to fully incorporate each addition.
Continue to whisk until the mayonnaise is smooth, thick, and creamy.
Gently fold in the fresh parsley, chives, dill, garlic, and black pepper using a spatula or spoon, ensuring the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or herbs to your preference.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
