Mayonnaise Recipe | How to make Mayonnaise

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: aquafaba

💰Cheaper: egg whites

Aquafaba is a vegan alternative, while egg whites are cheaper than whole eggs.

In a medium sized bowl, separate one egg, placing the yolk in the bowl and setting the white aside.

Add about 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the egg yolk.

Whisk the egg yolk, mustard, and vinegar together until well combined.

Place a tea towel under the mixing bowl to keep it in place while whisking.

Slowly stream in the vegetable oil, adding a small amount at a time and whisking well in between each addition.

Continue adding oil until all of it has been incorporated and the mayonnaise has thickened and turned pale in color.

Add the juice of half a lemon to the mayonnaise and whisk to combine.

Season with a pinch of salt and taste the mayonnaise.
