Blender Mayonnaise

From the kitchen of Carly

Silky homemade mayonnaise made in minutes using a blender. Bright lemon juice and sharp Dijon mustard balance the richness of olive oil for a condiment that tastes nothing like the store-bought version. Keeps for a week refrigerated.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11 large egg
  • 14 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
  • 11 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 11/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 11/4 teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper*
  • 11 cup olive oil or a neutral vegetable oil or a combination of the two

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, blend together the egg, lemon juice, mustard, fine sea salt, and freshly ground white or black pepper, blending until well combined. With the motor still running, add the oil in a very slow, thin, steady stream and blend until the dressing is thick and smooth. DO AHEAD: The mayonnaise can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 1 week.
