Create a luxurious and creamy homemade mayonnaise with this easy recipe, perfect for elevating your sandwiches, salads, and dips.
Mayonnaise is a traditional sauce with origins tracing back to France, known for its rich, creamy texture and versatility.
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg, vinegar, mustard, salt, and sugar.
2. Begin whisking the mixture while slowly drizzling in the vegetable oil.
3. Continue whisking vigorously as the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify.
4. Once the initial batch of oil is incorporated, add the lemon juice for flavor and preservation.
5. Gradually add the remaining oil while maintaining a steady whisking motion until the mayonnaise reaches your desired thickness.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Store the mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Mayonnaise should not be reheated as it may separate and lose its creamy texture.
