Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to help emulsify properly.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

While whisking continuously, very slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Start with just a few drops at a time, ensuring it emulsifies before adding more. Once the mixture begins to thicken, you can increase the oil to a slow, steady stream.

Step 4

After incorporating all the vegetable oil, whisk in the extra virgin olive oil in the same manner. Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to add brightness.

Step 6

Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh dill and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve as a condiment, dip, or dressing. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
