Ingredients

• 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk together until fully combined and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.

Step 2

While continuously whisking, very slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the egg mixture. Begin with just a few drops at a time, making sure the oil is fully emulsified before adding more.

Step 3

As the mixture begins to thicken and blend into a creamy texture, you can gradually increase the flow of the olive oil into a thin stream, still whisking constantly.

Step 4

Once all the olive oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, stir in the sea salt to taste.

Step 5

If desired, adjust the flavor by adding a little more lemon juice or salt.

Step 6

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
