1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (approximate)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 sachet of powdered seasoning
1 pinch of salt (1/4 teaspoon)

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at major local retailers like Pick n Pay or OK Zimbabwe. Look for fresh eggs and standard sunflower or vegetable oil in the baking or staples aisle. If you prefer, a neutral-flavoured canola oil can be used as a substitute for standard vegetable oil.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, lemon juice, powdered seasoning, and salt into the blender jug.
- Pulse the blender 2 or 3 times to briefly combine the base ingredients.
- With the blender running on high speed, slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture in a steady, thick stream through the lid opening.
- Continue adding the oil until the mayonnaise reaches your preferred consistency and appears 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 down toward the blades, incorporating any remaining oil.
- Take care to ensure the spoon does not come into contact with the blender blades.
- Continue blending briefly if necessary until you achieve the perfect, velvety texture.
