Carol’s Homemade Blender Mayonnaise

Carol’s Homemade Blender Mayonnaise

This mayo is much brighter tasting than the store-bought version.  I use it as a base for anything calling for mayo, but it is especially good in my creamy cole slaw dressing.  It is simpler to make than the hand-beaten varieties, and just as good, in my opinion.  Be sure to refrigerate though because it contains raw egg.

1 egg yolk

1 Tblsp white vinegar

1/8 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp dry mustard

1/4 to 1/2 tsp sugar (if you are try to avoid sugar, stevia or truvia works fine)

1/8 tsp garlic powder (it just adds a little sumthin). You can leave it out if you wish though)

1 cup vegetable oil

1 Tblsp lemon juice

In the blender, add all ingredients, except oil and lemon juice.  Blend on low speed until mixed thoroughly. Leave blender at low speed and pour 1/2 of the oil very slowly in a thin stream into the mixture.  Stop the blender and scrape the sides down with rubber spatula.  Add lemon juice and blend (still at low speed).  Continue at low speed and slowly pour the rest of the oil into the mixture at a very thin stream..  Makes 1-11/4 cups.  Refrigerate immediately.
