Notes
- Egg: One large egg will do the trick. Or for an even richer, creamier homemade mayonnaise, replace the whole egg with 4 egg yolks and increase the vinegar to 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar.
- Vegetable oil: Any neutral refined oil will work here. Steer clear of olive oil, which may change the flavor of the mayonnaise and cause it to break. You may not need all of the 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil called for in this easy mayonnaise recipe; just add enough to reach your desired consistency.
- Yield: This homemade mayonnaise recipe makes 2 cups, or 32 tablespoons, enough for several sandwiches, sauce recipes, dressing recipes, and beyond.
- Storage: Keep extra homemade mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
