Equipment

Ninja Blender System

Ingredients

2 egg yolks
1/2- 3/4 cup oil of your choice*
Sprinkle sea salt
Add ins : optional
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon white or black ground pepper

Instructions

Place the egg yolks into the blender and beat on high for 1-2 minutes or until the color starts to lighten.
With the blender running, start to VERY slowly drizzle in the oil. Amounts will vary, so what you are paying attention to is the SOUND. You will very noticeably hear the sound change from sloppy and wet to thick and creamy.
At this time sprinkle in your desired amount of salt. Don't worry, you can fold in more later if you wish. Give it another quick whirl to blend.
Cover and chill until ready to use your homemade mayonnaise.

Notes

Oil amounts will vary greatly based on the size of your egg yolks and the type and thickness of oil you are using. Instead of focusing on measurements, focus on the SOUND the mayo is making in the blender to know you have the correct amount.
