Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the yolk in a blender or food processor. Begin blending or processing and, with the motor running, slowly add the oils one at a time in a thin, steady trickle. (There is a tiny hole in the plunger of most food processors that makes this easy.)

  2. Step 2

    Smash the garlic to a paste with the salt. Add it to the mayonnaise with the rest of the ingredients and process or blend briefly, until just combined.

Cooking Notes

Added garlic, mustard, both paprikas, and vinegar to 1c store-bought mayo with good results.

Disappointing. Followed recipe precisely and wound up with red, salty liquid. Next time (if there is a next time!) would increase the garlic, decrease the salt and the oil.

Not great. Followed the recipe to a tee and turned out as a gross liquid. Way too much oil - use another recipe

Made a small amount with 1/2 cup store-bought mayo, small garlic clove and 1/2 other ingredients. Very tasty.

Awful! Way too much oil. Next time, add spices to 1 cup of commercial mayo.

Made with Hellmann’s along with garlic and spices. Also a bit of lemon juice. It was easy and good!
