Blender Mayonnaise

Homemade mayonnaise contains raw egg yolk. If you’re concerned about the safety of your yolks, buy pasteurized eggs.

• 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1-1/4 cups canola oil

Combine the lemon juice, egg yolk, mustard, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 2 tsp. water in a blender. With the machine running, very slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream through the hole in the blender’s cap. Once the mixture thickens, you can add the remaining oil more quickly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
