Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 pinches granulated sugar optional
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar can sub apple cider or rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup light olive oil
Instructions
- In a large glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, sea salt and sugar (if using).
- In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar and lemon juice. Whisk half of the vinegar mixture into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Start whisking briskly, then begin adding the oil a few drops at a time, until the liquid begins to thicken and lighten a bit. Once you reach that point, continue whisking while you add the oil in a very slow, steady stream. Once half of the oil has been incorporated, whisk in the remaining vinegar mixture. Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated.
- Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
