Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, red chili pepper flakes, mustard, and salt in a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Blend on low speed until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. It's crucial to add the oil in a thin, steady stream to emulsify properly.

Once all the olive oil is incorporated and the mixture has thickened to mayonnaise consistency, add the plain Greek yogurt to the mixture.

Step 5

Blend again briefly to combine the yogurt with the chili mayonnaise base.

Step 6

Taste the Mediterranean Diet Chili Mayo and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Transfer the chili mayo to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve as a dip, dressing, or spread.
