Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Large egg (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Neutral-flavored oil (like sunflower, canola, or vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 Optional garlic clove (for a garlic mayo twist)
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps the emulsion process when blending.
Crack the egg into your blender. Add the lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, sugar, and black pepper. If using garlic, add it now.
Blend on low speed for 15 seconds to combine the ingredients and start building a base for your emulsion.
With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle in the neutral-flavored oil. Start with just a few drops at a time, then work your way up to a slow, steady stream. Take your time—this step is critical to achieving the perfect silky mayonnaise.
Once you’ve blended in the cup of neutral oil, stop the blender and check the consistency. It should be thick and creamy at this point. If it’s too thin, continue blending and add a little more neutral oil if needed.
Add the olive oil and blend for another 5-10 seconds to combine and develop a richer flavor.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to let the flavors meld together.
Store in the refrigerator and use within one week for the best flavor and freshness.
