Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.125 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 0.0625 teaspoon optional salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a food processor, combine the egg yolk, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and white pepper.
Step 2
Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds until it is well combined and slightly thicker.
Step 3
With the processor running or while whisking continuously, very slowly add the vegetable oil in a thin, steady stream. It's critical to add the oil slowly at first to ensure an emulsion forms.
Step 4
Once approximately half of the oil is added and the mixture has started to thicken, you can add the remaining oil a little more quickly, though still in a thin stream.
Step 5
After all the oil has been incorporated, add the white vinegar and sugar, blending or whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Step 6
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed with optional salt. Keep in mind that it's designed to be low sodium, so adjust according to personal taste preferences and dietary needs.
Step 7
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
