Preparation Instructions
Step
Instruction
1
Add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to your blender. Secure the lid and blend on low speed for a few seconds until smooth and combined.
2
With the blender running, very slowly drizzle in 1 cup of vegetable oil through the top hatch. It’s important to add the oil gradually, as this helps emulsify the mixture and gives the mayonnaise a thick, creamy texture.
3
After all the oil is added and the mixture is thick and creamy, add 3/4 cup of hot water. Blend briefly until fully incorporated.
4
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean container and refrigerate immediately. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy on sandwiches, as a base for dressings, or as a dip!
Optional Flavor Variations:
For a spicy kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder.
For a unique twist: Try adding a touch of curry powder.
Herb-infused mayo: Blend in a small handful of fresh basil, tarragon, or minced garlic.
Sweet and tangy: Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to mimic the flavor of a salad dressing.
This homemade mayonnaise is a versatile staple and adds a rich, fresh flavor that store-bought versions just can’t match. Whether you’re spreading it on a sandwich, using it as a salad dressing base, or just dipping fresh veggies, this easy, customizable recipe will elevate your culinary creations!
