- 1.25 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Canola oil

Directions
Step 1
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, white vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Step 2
2. Begin to slowly add the canola oil while whisking continuously. Start with just a few drops at a time to allow the oil to emulsify with the egg mixture.
Step 3
3. Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can increase the rate at which you add the oil, but continue whisking consistently to ensure a smooth texture.

Step 5
