Ingredients

2 large eggs farm fresh is ideal
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use an entire small lemon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon distilled vinegar
½ teaspoon ground mustard
2 cups Extra light olive oil be sure to use light

Instructions

Add eggs, lemon juice, salt, vinegar, and ground mustard to a wide mouth mason jar. Use immersion blender to blend until mixture has emulsified and it starts to look creamy.
With a slow steady stream, add the oil while continually blending and moving the immersion blender around to fully mix. Once all of the oil has been added and the mayonnaise is fully blended, taste and add more lemon, salt, and/or mustard powder, if necessary. If the mayo tastes really creamy and oily, I generally keep adding more salt and lemon until it tastes like the mayo I'm used to.
Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
