Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 squirt fresh lime juice
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a wide-mouth quart-sized jar or tall blending container, add eggs, rice vinegar, lime juice, salt, sugar, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Insert an immersion blender and blend briefly to combine the eggs and seasonings.
- Slowly begin adding the vegetable oil while blending. Pour in a steady stream or add in small increments, blending well after each addition.
- Continue blending and incorporating oil until the mixture thickens and emulsifies into a creamy mayonnaise.
- Once the desired consistency is reached, stop blending to avoid breaking the emulsion.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Scrape off excess mayo from the blender back into the jar.
- Refrigerate in a sealed container or use immediately.
Notes
- Use lemon juice instead of lime for a classic tang.
- Increase sugar slightly for a sweeter mayo.
- For richness, swap one whole egg for an extra yolk.
- Add paprika or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Apple cider vinegar can replace rice vinegar.
