Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 34-1 cup safflower oil (read *Note) or 34-1 cup sunflower oil (read *Note)
  • 1 12 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon whey (I use the whey from Nancy's plain yogurt)

Method

  • *Note: My husband tested this recipe using extra virgin olive oil as indicated in the original recipe.
  • He found the olive oil gave the mayonnaise an overly "olive-y" taste.
  • He prefers the safflower or sunflower oil and will sometimes substitute a little bit of olive oil-roughly a ratio of 3/4 safflower oil to 1/4 extra virgin olive oil.
  • In a food processor, place egg yolks, mustard and salt.
  • Process the mixture until well blended, about 30 seconds.
  • With the motor running, <> in a thin, steady stream, drizzle the safflower oil or sunflower oil through the feed tube.
  • Next, add the lemon juice and whey.
  • Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.
  • (Usually the mayo will call for either more salt or more lemon juice or even both ingredients.
  • ).
  • Allow mayonnaise to sit at room temperature, well covered, for 7 hours before refrigerating.
