How to Make Homemade Mayonnaise Ii

  1. Combine 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of neutral-tasting oil (like canola or vegetable oil), one drop at a time, until the mixture begins to thicken.
  3. Once emulsified (thick and creamy), gradually increase the flow of oil while the processor runs, until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings: add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
  5. For variations, add the following after step 4:
  6. - **Aioli:** 2 cloves garlic, minced
  7. - **Basil Mayo:** 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  8. - **Cilantro-Lime Mayo:** 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice
  9. - **Sun-dried Tomato Mayo:** 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (soaked in hot water, drained and chopped)
  10. - **Tartar Sauce:** 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon roasted red peppers, chopped
  11. - **Thousand Island:** Follow tartar sauce instructions, and add 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped.
  12. Store your mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
