Mayonnaise
Description
There is nothing quite like the rich, velvety texture of homemade mayonnaise. This classic Mediterranean-style condiment relies on just a few simple ingredients: fresh eggs, extra virgin olive oil, zesty lemon juice, and a hint of dry mustard for depth. The key to success is patience; slowly drizzling the oil into the egg mixture while blending creates a stable, luxurious emulsion. This sauce is incredibly versatile, perfect for topping sandwiches, mixing into potato salad, or serving as a base for aioli and tartar sauce. It tastes far superior to store-bought versions, offering a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile that truly elevates any dish. Keep it refrigerated for up to a week for the freshest results.Ingredients
Directions
-
Place the whole egg, lemon juice, salt, dry mustard, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil into a blender jar.
-
Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
-
With the blender still running on high, slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil in a very thin, steady stream.
-
Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, glossy, and smooth.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired, then transfer to a jar and refrigerate.

Note
Ensure the egg and lemon juice are at room temperature before starting, as this helps the emulsion form more easily.
