Learn how to make classic homemade mayonnaise with just a few ingredients! This creamy, rich sauce is perfect for dips, sandwiches, and dressings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240ml) oil (neutral-flavored, such as canola or sunflower)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, salt, pepper, mustard, and vinegar until fully combined.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the oil, starting with just a few drops at a time while whisking continuously. Gradually increase to a thin stream while stirring in the same direction.
  3. Keep whisking until the mixture emulsifies into a smooth, thick, and glossy mayonnaise.

💡 Pro Tip:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid separation.
  • For a lighter texture, mix in 1 tsp of warm water at the end.

💡 Variations:

  • Swap vinegar for lemon juice for a whiter, tangier mayonnaise.

💡 Serving Suggestions:
Perfect for sandwiches, salads, dips, and as a base for flavored sauces!
