How to Make Lemon Rosemary Mayonnaise

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and Dijon mustard until light and frothy.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.
  3. Add the lemon juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also allows the mayonnaise to thicken further.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! (Optional: Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary before serving.)
