Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg yolk (pasteurized for safety)
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Honey or sugar (for slight sweetness, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons White pepper (or black pepper)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg yolk, and Dijon mustard until smooth and fully incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. This step is crucial, so add the oil gradually to ensure the mixture thickens properly.
Add the lemon juice, honey or sugar (if using), salt, and white pepper to the bowl. Whisk again until the mayonnaise is smooth and glossy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a tangier mayonnaise, add a little more lemon juice. For a thicker consistency, use full-fat Greek yogurt or refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving.
Transfer the light mayonnaise to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Use within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
Serve as a sandwich spread, salad dressing base, or dip for veggies and chips. Enjoy your healthier Yo Naise Light Mayonnaise!
