Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolk in a medium mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure it is not too cold, which can prevent the mayonnaise from emulsifying properly.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to ensure they are well crushed.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and water to the bowl with the egg yolk. Whisk together to combine until smooth.

Step 4

Begin adding the olive oil very slowly to the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time while whisking continuously to keep the mixture from separating.

Step 5

As the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can start to add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk vigorously until all the oil is incorporated.

Step 6

After the oil has been completely added, the mayonnaise should be thick and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the white pepper and finely chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, considering any additional flavor preferences.

Step 9

Transfer the low sodium garlic mayonnaise to a clean jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, and always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.
