Ingredients

▢ 2 large egg yolks - at room temperature
▢ 1 cup neutral-flavored oil - light-tasting olive oil, avocado oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil
▢ ½ lemon - juiced
▢ 1 teaspoon white vinegar
▢ 1 teaspoon granulated sugar - optional
▢ ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Whip the egg yolks with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until they turn a pale yellow color.
While continuing to whip the eggs, slowly drizzle the oil into the whipped egg yolks. (In the first minute, it is crucial that the oil be poured in slowly or the mayo will split.)
Continue to add the oil slowly until all of it is mixed in - this should take about 2½-3 minutes. (If you accidentally pour in too much at one time, mix for 5-10 seconds without pouring in any oil before continuing.)
Pour in the lemon juice, vinegar, sugar (if using), and salt and whip for another 15-20 seconds or until fully combined.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
