Classic Homemade Mayonnaise
Classic Homemade Mayonnaise is made by emulsifying egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, onion powder, mustard, and safflower oil using an immersion blender. The result is a smooth, creamy condiment with balanced acidity and richness. This mayonnaise can be a base for dressings or spreads and allows control over ingredients and freshness.

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional

Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a vessel just large enough to fit the immersion blender.
- Place blender all the way in, so the blades are touching the bottom of the vessel.
- Turn on the blender, and gently move it upwards, so the egg and egg yolk are incorporated, and the oil and egg begin to emulsify.
- Continue, gently moving up and down, until thick. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
