- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

How to make the Best Homemade Mayonnaise :
- To prepare the mayonnaise, place the egg yolks (at room temperature) in a bowl with high edges, add a few drops of lemon juice, and start whisking them lightly with an electric beater at medium speed to give body to the yolks.
- At this point, pour the oil in a thin stream, gradually and without haste, to avoid making it go crazy. Add a bit, wait for it to be incorporated, then add more; it’s important not to pour the oil all at once, or the mayonnaise might go awry.
- Once you’ve added about 40-50% of the vegetable oil, the consistency of your mixture will already be quite thick, so dilute it with the remaining lemon juice, adding it little by little.
- Continue pouring the oil gradually and in stages. Now that the mayonnaise is ready and emulsified, add the salt, a pinch of black pepper, one and a half teaspoons of white wine vinegar, and mix again with the beater for a few seconds, always at medium speed. Your mayonnaise is ready; transfer it gently to a bowl and enjoy it as you prefer.
Storage: Consume your mayonnaise immediately. Alternatively, you can store it for a maximum of 1 day.
