Mayonnaise is a smooth, creamy condiment made by emulsifying egg yolk (or milk for eggless versions) with oil, lemon juice, and seasoning. Loved worldwide, it adds rich flavour to sandwiches, burgers, salads, and dips.
1 egg yolk 1 cup canola oil 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar ½ tsp mustard Salt to taste
Place egg yolk, lemon juice (or vinegar), salt, and mustard in a bowl.
Whisk or blend until the ingredients are well combined.
Add oil very slowly in a thin stream while whisking continuously.
Keep whisking until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning, then store in a clean jar in the fridge.
