Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, while whisking constantly to emulsify the mixture. Continue adding oil slowly and whisk thoroughly to ensure a stable emulsion.
Step 3
Once half of the vegetable oil has been incorporated and the mixture has thickened, you can start adding the oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking all the while.
Step 4
Once the vegetable oil is fully incorporated, slowly add the olive oil in the same manner, whisking continuously.
Step 5
Whisk in the white vinegar and season with white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the mayo sauce to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Mayo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
