5-Ingredient Homemade Mayonnaise

Makes about 1 ¼ cups)

If you have a food processor or blender, this mayonnaise is a snap to make - and much better for you than anything on a grocery store shelf. It lasts a couple of weeks in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup plus 1 cup light-tasting olive oil (Not extra virgin - the flavor is too strong. I use Bertolli ExtraLight Tasting Olive Oil)

Directions

  1. In a food processor or blender, drop in the egg, lemon juice (or white vinegar), mustard, salt, and ¼ cup of the oil.

  2. Blend until well mixed - about 20 seconds.

  3. Drizzle remaining 1 cup oil into the mixture until you achieve desired consistency.
