Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 cup Canola oil
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 pinch Garlic powder
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Begin to slowly drizzle the canola oil into the egg mixture, starting with just a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking to emulsify.
As the mixture begins to thicken, you can start adding the oil a little more quickly but still in a thin stream, while whisking constantly.
Continue adding the oil and whisking until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Once all the oil is incorporated, season the mayonnaise with a pinch of black pepper and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remember that this is a low sodium recipe, so substitute with herbs or spices for extra flavor.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate it for at least an hour before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before each use as separation might occur.
