Mayonnaise
Ingredients
A note about gluten: When a gluten-free mustard is used, this recipe is gluten free.
1
egg
1 tbsp.
Dijon mustard
1 tbsp.
red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1 tsp.
Kowalski's Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (from the Produce Juice Case)
¼ tsp.
fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 cup
mild-to-neutral oil (such as safflower or canola)
Directions
- Add egg, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and salt to a tall, narrow jar; pour oil over top.
- Pressing an immersion blender firmly against the bottom of the jar, blend on high speed until a creamy white mixture begins to form at the bottom (15-30 sec.).
- Slowly lift the blender up and down to emulsify the oil until mixture is fully homogeneous and thick.
- Add additional salt or vinegar to taste.
Tasty Tips:
- Sometimes called a stick blender, an immersion blender will yield the best results with this recipe. If you don’t have one, you can use a small (not full-size) food processor instead: Process egg for 20 sec. Add mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and salt; process for another 20 sec., then scrape the bowl. With the processor running, drizzle in about ¼ cup oil as slowly as possible until mixture begins to thicken. Stream in remaining oil, still quite slowly, until all oil is added. Scrape the bowl again; process for 20 sec. more or until done. Season as noted above.
- White wine vinegar may be used in place of the red wine vinegar, if desired.
- Mild olive oil can also be used, if desired.
