How to Make Truly Amazing Tuna Mayonnaise

  1. Combine 2 large egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a blender, immersion blender, or food processor.
  2. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of your favorite oil (e.g., olive oil, avocado oil) until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
  3. Add 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of capers (drained), 1 (5 ounce) can of tuna (drained), and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (salt and pepper are recommended).
  5. Serving suggestions: Use as a condiment for tuna patties, grilled tuna steaks, baked, broiled, or poached white fish. Spoon over mixed green salads as a dressing. Substitute for regular mayonnaise in tuna salad, shrimp salad, macaroni/pasta salads, or deviled eggs. Let your imagination run wild!
