Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh basil
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a small pitcher or measuring cup.
Step 3
While continuously whisking the egg mixture, very slowly drizzle in the combined oils. Start with just a few drops at a time to allow the emulsion to form, then gradually increase the speed to a thin stream. Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise has thickened.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, chives, basil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.
Step 5
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Step 6
Cover the mayonnaise and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
