Ingredients

• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Zest of lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon Zest of orange
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, salt, and sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 3

While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, starting with just a few drops at a time. Gradually increase the flow as the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify.

Step 4

Continue whisking and adding oil until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise reaches a thick and creamy consistency.

Step 5

Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the salt or citrus juices as needed to balance the flavor.

Step 6

If the mayonnaise is too thick, whisk in a few drops of water to loosen it to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the creamy citrus mayonnaise to a clean container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
