Mayonnaise

by:




This recipe includes instructions for making mayonnaise in the blender or by hand. It is lighter when made mechanically because the process uses a whole egg and is very quick. You can use either sunflower oil or olive oil, or a mixture of the two if you prefer. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
