I've always known that mayonnaise was easy to make, but I had no idea that it was this easy! I have no reason to ever have store-bought mayo in my house again. I also recommend that you experiment with your own favorite herbs and seasonings - I added 1 cup of chopped fresh basil to make this batch into basil mayo. Lemon zest, sundried tomato, or even bacon mayo...get creative!
Homemade Mayo
4 egg yolks, at room temperature
6 T fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 t salt
1 t pepper
2 c canola oil
1 c olive oil
-Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend.
-Slowly add the oil to the mixture while blending, allowing it to emulsify to the consistency of mayonnaise.
-Add any seasonings (if desired), blend until incorporated.
-Store in a glass jar in the fridge.
