Whip up a batch of creamy, tangy homemade mayonnaise in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for sandwiches, dips, and dressings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup neutral oil such as canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Blend until smooth.
- With the blender or food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil in a very thin, steady stream. Continue blending until the mayonnaise is thick and emulsified.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can whisk in a teaspoon of water or lemon juice until the desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Homemade mayonnaise will last in the refrigerator for up to a week.
