Making mayonnaise at home is surprisingly simple and allows for customization in flavor and texture. It is commonly used in sandwiches, salads, and as a base for various dressings and sauces. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started.

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 cup neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed oil)
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
• A few drops of water (if needed to adjust consistency)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help the emulsion process.
2. Mix the Base:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice until well combined.
3. Emulsify:
   • Slowly add the oil, a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking. This helps to create a stable emulsion. As the mixture starts to thicken, you can add the oil in a thin, steady stream.
4. Adjust and Season:
   • Once all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mayo is too thick, you can add a few drops of water to reach the desired consistency.
5. Store:
   • Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar or container and refrigerate. Homemade mayonnaise will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

With this simple recipe, you can enjoy a delicious and customizable condiment that enhances a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re dressing a salad, crafting a sandwich, or creating a dip, homemade mayonnaise adds a delightful richness that is sure to impress.
