Start by making homemade mayonnaise: add 250 milliliters canola oil to a container.

Crack in 1 fresh egg.

Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, a few twists of salt, and about 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

Sweeten with 3/4 teaspoon sugar.

Use a stick blender to blend until thick mayonnaise forms, which takes just a few seconds.

Transfer a little over 1 cup of the homemade mayonnaise into a mixing bowl.

Add 200 milliliters sour cream to the bowl.

Crumble blue cheese into the mixture, or grate it if it's too creamy.

Mix the blue cheese into the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined.

Add a few chopped chives to the mixture and taste for seasoning.

Add extra black pepper to taste and give it a final stir.

Let the dip sit for a few hours in the fridge to let the flavors meld before serving.
