mustard

🥗Healthier: Dijon mustard

Add 1 egg to a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.

Use an immersion blender to mix the ingredients for about 3 minutes until mayonnaise forms.

Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl and show the thick consistency.

Demonstrate making mayonnaise using a hand whisk: add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt to a bowl.

Whisk the mixture until well combined before adding oil.

Gradually add 1 cup of oil while whisking continuously until mayonnaise starts to form.

If using a hand whisk is difficult, suggest using an electric whisk for faster results.

Continue whisking until the mayonnaise reaches the desired consistency, which can be lighter than the immersion blender version.

Mix the lighter mayonnaise with the thicker version to achieve a yellowish mayonnaise if desired.

Mention that homemade mayonnaise can last in the fridge for some time without preservatives.
