Consuming raw egg may increase your risk of foodborne illness

Ingredients

  • 1 egg, large
  • 1 egg, yolk
  • ½ teaspoon honey, organic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon organic mustard
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup olive oil, extra virgin

Yield

Serves: About 1 cup

Preparation

Put the egg, egg yolk, honey, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a blender. Turn on blender, then slowly pour the oil in through the lid a drop at a time, then pour in a small, slow stream. Blend until mixture thickens. Taste and adjust your seasoning accordingly. Refrigerate in an airtight container.

OR, if using a mixing bowl…


1. In a medium bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, honey, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk until blended and thickened, 30 to 60 seconds. It should be a bright yellow.
2. In a very slow, steady stream, pour in ½ cup oil, whisking continuously, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup, whisking continuously until mayonnaise is thickened, about 6 minutes. Now the mayonnaise will appear lighter in color. Season with more salt if needed. Place in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
