About

If you don’t want to bother making mayonnaise from scratch, but you want to create the effect of homemade mayonnaise, work some extra virgin olive oil or other oil into a few tablespoons of bottled mayonnaise. You can even add an egg yolk to give the mayonnaise a homemade color.

Ingredients

¼ cup bottled mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tab

Sauce
Gluten-free
Vegetarian

Method

In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and egg yolk. Whisk in the oil in a steady stream. If the mayonnaise starts to get thicker than bottled mayonnaise, add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to keep it from breaking. Season with salt and pepper.
