Where to find ingredients
Eggs: Available at any local grocery shop or market, preferably fresh and free-range. Vegetable oil: Look for sunflower or canola oil in the baking and oils aisle of any supermarket. Lemon: Fresh lemons are widely available in the produce section. Powdered seasoning: Find this in the seasonings and spices aisle; look for generic savory bouillon or versatile vegetable seasoning powders. Salt: Common table salt or sea salt available in the spice section of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into the blender jar
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to get the base ingredients combined
- With the blender running on high speed, begin pouring the oil in a thick, steady stream through the hole in the lid
- Keep adding the oil until the mayonnaise reaches your desired thickness and looks fully saturated
- Watch for the point where the mixture stops absorbing the oil and it begins to pool on the surface
- Carefully remove the blender lid
- Use a spoon to gently fold the mixture and push it down towards the blades, incorporating any remaining oil
- Be extra careful to ensure the spoon stays clear of the blender blades while mixing
- Pulse or blend briefly if needed until you reach that perfect, stable consistency
