Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil blend
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. In your blender, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse briefly to blend.
  2. With the motor running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. Emulsification begins and the mixture thickens.
  3. Once all oil is incorporated, taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or lemon juice for brightness.
  4. Transfer the creamy mayonnaise to a clean jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  5. Serve as a dip, sandwich spread, or base for dressings.
