Mayonnaise

Ingredients

  • 6 large pasteurized egg yolks
  • 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ½ teaspoons dry mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) grapeseed oil

Directions

  1. Place eggs, mustard, salt, and lemon juice into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then increase to Variable 3. Blend for 10 seconds.
  3. While machine is running, remove the lid plug and begin pouring in the oil in through the lid plug opening, just a few drops at a time, until an emulsification begins to form. Continue pouring in a very slow, steady stream until completely emulsified and mixture thickens (this should take about 45 seconds.)
  4. Stop machine and stir in any oil sitting on top. Refrigerate in separate container and use within 2-4 weeks.
