Failproof Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: aquafaba

💰Cheaper: egg whites

Aquafaba is a vegan alternative that whips well.

oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier with good fats.

vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

Apple cider vinegar adds a unique flavor.

mustard

🥗Healthier: Dijon mustard

💰Cheaper: yellow mustard

Dijon adds depth while yellow is more common.

Add one whole egg, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and some salt to the food processor.

Process everything until well blended.

Slowly stream in the oil while the egg and mustard are being processed.

Start by adding little drops of oil; when a quarter of the oil has been added, you can be less strict with how slowly you add it.

Continue to add the remaining oil in a very thin stream until it is all gone and the mayo looks shiny and thick.

Taste the mayonnaise for seasoning and add a little pop of acid from fresh lemon and an extra pinch of salt if desired.
