Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
- Pepper

Preparation

Whisk method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, egg yolk, mustard and salt. Add the first third of the oil drop-by-drop, whisking constantly. When the emulsion begins to form, add the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly. Season with pepper.
Food processor or blender method
- Place the vinegar, whole egg, mustard and salt in a food processor or blender. Cover and mix for a few seconds. Set the appliance to the lowest speed. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream through the opening in the lid. The mayonnaise will emulsify quickly—in less than a minute. If necessary, turn off the processor or blender and scrape the sides of the bowl so the blades can reach the ingredients.
