Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup Olive oil
- 3/4 cup Canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. For a smoother sauce, use a garlic press to extract the juice.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is smooth and pale.
Begin adding the oils. Start with a few drops of olive oil while whisking constantly until the mixture starts to emulsify.
Continue to add the olive oil and canola oil in a slow, thin stream while whisking vigorously. Make sure each addition is fully incorporated before adding more oil.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy, stir in the minced garlic or garlic juice.
Add the water to adjust the consistency if desired and whisk until smooth.
Season with ground black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water to reach the desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the lemon juice if needed for more tang.
Transfer the garlic mayo sauce into a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
