How to Make Homemade Garlic Lime Mayonnaise

Add 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 cloves minced garlic to a food processor.
Pulse until combined.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of neutral-flavored oil (such as canola or grapeseed oil) in a thin, steady stream until emulsified.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt if necessary, or a tiny pinch of sugar to balance the acidity. If the mayonnaise is too thick, thin it out with 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
