Homemade Mayonnaise

By Andrew Zimmern

Making a batch of mayonnaise at home is so simple, and the result is a more flavorful, tangy and silky condiment than what’s available at the grocery store. It’s incredibly versatile and customizable—use it as a base for all kinds of dips, marinades and sauces, or schmear it on a piece of toast and top with a slice of ripe tomato and sea salt. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a food processor, immersion blender or simply whisk by hand, just make sure to add the oil drop-by-drop whisking constantly to ensure it emulsifies.
