- In a food processor, add the eggs, mustard and salt. Start the motor, and very slowly drizzle in the oil (almost dribbling at first). Once the egg mixture starts to thicken a bit, pour a little faster until the mayo looks thick and creamy. Stop the motor and add the lemon juice.
- Run the processor again until the lemon juice is mixed in, then stop again to taste for seasoning.
- Add additional salt and lemon juice if needed. (Makes about 2½ cups of mayo)
Use this basic homemade mayo as a base for your potato or pasta salads, sandwiches and burgers, or creamy salad dressings!
