Homemade mayonnaise is really easy to make, but no one ever does. It doesn’t taste anything like the store kind. Give it a try.

Easy Homemade Mayonnaise

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup vinegar or lemon juice

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp, dry mustard

2 cups salad oil

In a blender, mix the egg yolks, the vinegar, the salt and the dry mustard. Blend for just a few seconds to incorporate it all. Then, with the blender running at low speed, pour oil in slowly, in a steady stream. Continue blending until well mixed.

You can change this some. Try substituting different kinds of vinegars. Use extra-virgin olive oil in place of the salad oil. Throw in some herbs or spices. Rosemary would be heavenly; curry would be great, also.

Use your homemade mayonnaise for sandwiches or even as a salad dressing. It will keep in your refrigerator for a few days. And here’s a delicious hint: next time you roast a chicken, rub the skin with homemade mayonnaise before baking. You’ll get extra crisp, browned skin.
