Basic Mayonnaise

20 Jun 2015

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup Light Olive Oil
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of 1/2 lemon

Cooking Instructions

Place 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the egg, mustard powder, and salt in a blender, food processor, or mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. While the food processor or blender is running (or while mixing in a bowl with an immersion blender), slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 cup olive oil. After you've added all the oil and the mixture has emulsified, add the lemon juice, blending on low or stirring to incorporate.

Will last in the fridge for about a week after your eggs expire, so check the date on your egg carton, add a week and write that date on your mayonnaise jar.
