1 pinch salt (1/4 teaspoon)

Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality fresh eggs, vegetable oil, and lemons at local supermarket chains like FairPrice or Cold Storage. For powdered seasoning, local spice aisles offer various options that work well for this base. If desired, neutral oils like canola or sunflower oil are the best substitutes for standard vegetable oil.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into the blender jar.
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to briefly combine the ingredients.
- With the blender running on high speed, begin pouring the oil in a steady stream through the lid opening.
- Continue adding the oil until the mayonnaise reaches your desired consistency and appears saturated.
- Watch for the point where the mixture no longer absorbs the oil and it begins to pool on the surface.
- Carefully remove the blender lid.
- Use a spoon to gently push the mixture down toward the blades, incorporating any remaining oil.
- Exercise caution to ensure the spoon does not make contact with the blender blades.
- Continue blending if necessary until you achieve the perfect, velvety consistency.
