Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, and vinegar (or lemon juice) until combined.
- Slowly start drizzling in the oil very gradually, whisking constantly to emulsify the mixture.
- Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can add the oil a bit faster while continuing to whisk vigorously.
- Continue until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then whisk briefly to combine.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
For a lighter flavor, try using half olive oil and half vegetable oil. Adding a teaspoon of warm water can help stabilize the emulsion if it starts to separate.
