How to Make Mayonnaise

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.

Separate 4 egg yolks into a mixing bowl.

Add the yolks to a stand mixer.

While the whisker whisks, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar, a little pepper, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of mustard.

Add 1 cup of oil and 2 tablespoons of water.

Beat the mixture until you've got the desired consistency.

If you don't have a stand mixer, you can do all of your whisking by hand.

Once you've mastered mayonnaise, take it to the next level by adding garlic to create an aioli.
