Juice of 1 lemon

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh eggs and vegetable oil (such as sunflower, canola, or a neutral light olive oil) at any local grocery store or supermarket. Fresh lemons are readily available in the produce section. The 'powdered savory seasoning' refers to a common Brazilian-style broth or seasoning powder (often chicken or vegetable-based); you can find similar bouillon powders or all-purpose seasoning packets in the ethnic food aisle, at local Latin markets, or in the international specialty section of large supermarkets. If unavailable, a pinch of onion or garlic powder mixed with a little sugar can serve as a simple substitute to mimic the flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into your blender jug
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to get everything combined
- With the blender running on high, slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture through the opening in the lid
- Keep adding the oil until the mayo thickens to your preferred consistency and looks fully emulsified
- You will notice the mix stops absorbing the oil and it starts pooling on top when it is ready
- Carefully take the lid off the blender
- Use a spoon to gently fold the mixture and incorporate any remaining oil from the top into the thick base
- Be careful to keep the spoon away from the blades
- Continue blending for a few seconds if needed until you reach that perfect, silky consistency
