Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to promote even emulsification.
Place the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a bowl or a tall container suitable for an immersion blender.
Blend the mixture on a medium speed for a few seconds until evenly combined and slightly frothy.
With the blender running, begin adding the oil in a very slow, thin stream. Start with a few drops at a time, making sure the mixture starts to thicken before continuing.
Continue to add the oil, increasing to a thin, steady stream as the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. This process should take a few minutes.
Once all the oil is incorporated, add the white vinegar and blend for another few seconds to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to reach desired flavor.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It should be used within one week.
