How to Make Mayonnaise Aka Hellmann's
- Combine egg yolks, Dijon mustard (if using), vinegar, and lemon juice in a tall, narrow container (a blender or food processor works best).
- With the blender or food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This is crucial for emulsification; if you pour too quickly, the mayo may not thicken properly.
- Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy, continue blending for another minute to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You may want to add a little more vinegar or lemon juice depending on your preference.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. It will thicken further as it chills.
- Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise on sandwiches, salads, or as a dip!
