Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small Garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
While continuously whisking, very slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, ensuring it is fully incorporated before adding more. This step is crucial to emulsify the mayonnaise.
Once the mixture begins to thicken and turn creamy, continue to drizzle in the vegetable oil in a steady stream, followed by the olive oil, whisking vigorously until the mayonnaise is smooth and fully emulsified.
Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, dill, and chives until evenly distributed.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting if necessary.
Transfer the herbed mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir before serving and use as desired. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
