Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients and equipment, including a blender or food processor.
Add the egg whites, cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper into the blender.
Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The consistency should be slightly thick.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Take your time with this step, as adding the oil too quickly can cause the mixture to separate. You should see the dressing begin to emulsify and thicken.
Continue blending until all the olive oil is incorporated and the dressing is smooth and glossy.
Taste the mayonnaise dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste.
Transfer the dressing into a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
