Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Safflower oil
- 1 teaspoon Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2
Combine the olive oil and safflower oil in a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.
Step 3
While whisking continuously, begin adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture drop by drop. This step is crucial to start the emulsion process and prevent separation.
Step 4
Once the mixture thickens slightly, you can begin adding the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk vigorously.
Step 5
After all the oil is incorporated, add the teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency, whisking until smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. It can be stored for up to 1 week.
