Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Neutral-tasting oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white vinegar, and salt. Whisk them together until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Start adding the oil very slowly, just a few drops at a time, while whisking constantly. Ensure the oil is fully incorporated before adding more.

Step 3

As the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can increase the speed of adding the oil to a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking without stopping to maintain the emulsion.

Step 4

Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.

Step 5

If the mayonnaise is too thick, whisk in a small amount of water (about 1 teaspoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
