Ingredients
- Egg yolks
- 2 large
- Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon
- White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Sugar
- 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil
- 1 cup
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Begin to slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while whisking continuously. Start with just a few drops, gradually increasing the amount as the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken.
- Continue whisking vigorously until the mayonnaise reaches your desired consistency. If it's too thick, you can whisk in a few drops of water to loosen it up.
- Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or sugar according to your preference.
- Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise on sandwiches, as a creamy dressing for salads, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
Tips
- For a garlic-flavored mayonnaise, add minced garlic or garlic powder to the mixture.
- Experiment with different oils such as olive oil or avocado oil for a unique flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute some of the oil with Greek yogurt.
