Acerca de la Receta

Let's get blending!
Ingredientes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or canola; olive oil is too strong in taste)
Juice from half a lemon
Preparación
In a blender, combine the egg, lemon juice, and salt.
Slowly add the oil to the mixture in a thin, steady stream while continuously blending vigorously. Gradually increase the oil flow as the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken. If one cup of oil is not enough, you can add more until the mayonnaise reaches the desired creamy and smooth consistency.
Adjust the consistency to your liking: If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can add water or milk one tablespoon at a time. For a tangier flavor, add more lemon juice.
Once you achieve the desired taste and consistency, transfer the mayonnaise to a serving bowl or jar, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
