Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or light olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions to Make This Delight
- In a mixing bowl, combine the large egg and Dijon mustard. Mix them together until well combined.
- While constantly whisking, gradually drizzle in the vegetable oil. You want to do this slowly, so the mixture can emulsify and become nice and thick.
- Once all the oil is added, stir in the white wine vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper according to your liking.
- If the mayonnaise is thicker than you prefer, you can thin it out with a little water or more vinegar. Just a teaspoon at a time until you get the right consistency.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It’ll keep well for about a week!
