| The
blender makes fresh mayonnaise in just a few minutes. Experiment
with the oil to suit your taste. For example, I like to use
a peppery extra virgin olive oil if I am adding a strong flavored
herb to the mayonnaise like marjoram. For a delicate herb like
dill, I might use canola oil instead so the dill is not overpowered
by the taste of the oil. The lemon juice can also be substituted
by using another acid, such as vinegar. If I'm preparing a chicken
salad with apples, I might use apple cider vinegar in the mayonnaise.
Experiment and create your own combinations. |

|
| 2
whole eggs |
|
1
tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice |
| 1
tsp. salt |
|
Fresh
ground black pepper |
| 1-1
½ cups extra virgin olive oil |
|
|
| |
|
|

|
|
| Place
the eggs, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste in a blender.
Process just until ingredients are combined, about 20 seconds.
With
blender running at low speed, slowly drizzle in the oil in
a slow steady stream. Continue to add enough oil until the
mayonnaise thickens. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Refrigerate
the mayonnaise at least one hour before using to allow it
to cool and the oil to set.
Note:
if you are adding herbs, use only fresh for the cleanest flavor.
I use about 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs for each 1
cup of mayonnaise.
