Benefits & Notes: Commercial mayo is terrible for the challenge, hence this healthy recipe. Alternatively, we suggested recommended commercial mayonnaise in the shopping list.
Ingredients
2-3 egg yolks at room temperature (not cold!) preferably from free-range organic eggs.
1 cup olive oil at room temperature
1tbs fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 glass of clean water
(optional and to taste) mustard powder, paprika, garlic powder or mash garlic.
Directions
In an electric blender’s bowl or food processor, place the yolks, salt, pepper and two or three drops of lemon juice. Operate the mixer at medium speed.
When a smooth and airy mixture is created, add the oil in a very thin drizzle and stir continuously. After adding about a quarter cup of oil, the mayonnaise becomes thick. Stop the oil and add two or three drops of lemon juice. Now the oil will be integrated better.
Renew the oil dripping and continuous mixing. After adding another quarter cup of oil, repeat the drizzle of lemon, and so on until you get a swollen mayonnaise, airy and smooth.
