4large egg yolks*

½teaspoon kosher salt

2tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

2teaspoon fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar

2 to 2½ cups vegetable or canola oil, divided

Makes about 3 cups

Approximate preparation time: 5 to 10 minutes

Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Process the egg yolks, salt, mustard and lemon juice until smooth, about 30 seconds. With the machine running, add ¼ cup of the oil through the feed tube, drop by drop, being sure each drop is incorporated with the yolks before adding the next. This step should take about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is emulsified and homogenous, slowly add remaining oil until thick, about 1 minute.

Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.

For fresh herb mayonnaise: process ¹∕³ cup firmly packed fresh herbs (i.e., parsley, dill, tarragon, basil, etc.), stems removed, with the yolks before adding the oil.

*Raw egg warning:

Caution is suggested in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

For lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw eggs, Egg Beaters® may be substituted for the egg yolks.
