(condiment, eggs, lemon, olive oil )

Yield: 1 Cup

Ingredients

1½ tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and ½ tsp salt in medium-size bowl.

3. Using ¼ teaspoon measure and whisking constantly, add ¼ cup oil to the yolk mixture, a few drops at a time, about 4 minutes. Gradually add the remaining ½ cup oil in a very slow thin stream, whisking constantly, until mayonnaise is thick, about 4 minutes more.
