Ingredients

• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 teaspoon White Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to promote even emulsification.

Step 2

Place the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a bowl or a tall container suitable for an immersion blender.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on a medium speed for a few seconds until evenly combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

With the blender running, begin adding the oil in a very slow, thin stream. Start with a few drops at a time, making sure the mixture starts to thicken before continuing.

Step 5

Continue to add the oil, increasing to a thin, steady stream as the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. This process should take a few minutes.

Step 6

Once all the oil is incorporated, add the white vinegar and blend for another few seconds to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to reach desired flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It should be used within one week.
