Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole egg, room temp if possible
2 egg yolks, room temp if possible
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch paprika
1 cup oil, I use a mix of vegetable and olive

Steps:

  • Add whole egg and egg yolks to the blender and pulse for a few seconds.
  • Add lemon juice, vinegar, salt, sugar, mustard and paprika. Pulse for 30 seconds (mixture should be pale yellow and runny).
  • Keeping the lid on, with the middle plug removed, blend ingredients, adding the oil SLOWLY (and I mean slowly!) , only a few drops at at time at first, and then in a sloooooow steady stream. Mayo will lighten and thicken before your eyes!
  • Add salt, pepper, etc to taste, refrigerate and enjoy! Use within a few days, though -- it won't keep like a store brand.
