Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, lemon zest, finely minced fresh rosemary, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 2

While whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil, just a few drops at a time at first. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify.

Step 3

Once a stable emulsion is formed, gradually whisk in the remaining olive oil and vegetable oil in a thin, steady stream. Make sure to whisk continuously to create a creamy mayonnaise consistency.

Step 4

Season the mayonnaise with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning or add more lemon juice/zest if desired for extra brightness.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a dressing for salads and roasted vegetables. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
