Ingredients

• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
• 1 cup Neutral oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic clove and finely mince it. For a smoother mayonnaise, mash the minced garlic into a paste using the side of a knife or a mortar and pestle.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Begin adding the oil very slowly, a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking the mixture. This step is crucial to create an emulsion and prevent the mayonnaise from separating.

Step 4

Once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can add the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk vigorously.

Step 5

Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to taste.

Step 6

Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Use the garlic lime mayonnaise as a dip, spread, or sauce for vegetables, sandwiches, or seafood.
