Ingredients
  • 1 egg yolk - I used an extra large egg
  • 1 t. water
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 t. Dijon mustard
  • 2 t. fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ c. canola oil or 6 T. each of canola and olive oil
Instructions
  1. All ingredients must be at room temperature before beginning the process. They should be out at least 1 hour to reach room temperature.
  2. Separate egg yolk from egg white.
  3. Place egg yolk in metal bowl. Place 1 teaspoon of water within the bowl.
  4. Whisk briskly until frothyin texture while tilting the bowl toward you. To provide support, you may want to place bowl against your abs while whisking.
  5. Add salt, lemon juice and mustard.
  6. Continue to whisk briskly until you see it begin to thicken.
  7. Begin to slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk as it is being added.
  8. Continue to whisk until all of oil is incorporated. The mayonnaise should resemble a much thicker texture than when you began to add the oil. It should hold its form.
