Additive-free, homemade mayonnaise adds flavor to every plate it touches. You can use this natural mayonnaise with peace of mind in cold dishes, next to your grills, appetizers, salads and sauces. Bon Appetit!
Put a glass bowl on the counter and place a damp kitchen towel under it to keep it steady while you whisk. You can use a whisk, mixer, or whisk, but whisking by hand is a much better way to adjust both consistency and flavor.
Take the egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk them and add the olive oil drop by drop while continuing to whisk. When the sauce gets a little thick, continue to add the oil thinly like twine.
As the whisking continues, the sauce will begin to take on a lighter color and consistency. While beating, lift the wire occasionally and let the mixture breathe.
Finally, add salt, white pepper, sugar and vinegar and continue beating. You can put the thickened mayonnaise in a glass jar and store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Bon Appetit!

Egg Yolk:
Egg yolk is rich in protein, choline (critical for brain and liver health), vitamins D and A, and powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. It notably supports eye health, contributes to bone development, and strengthens cognitive functions. Its healthy fat content provides a sense of satiety. It's an excellent binder and flavor enhancer in savory sauces like béchamel, mayonnaise, and Hollandaise, as well as in sweet applications like pastry creams.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases. It supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect. Pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, salads, soups, marinades, and desserts, adding a refreshing and flavorful touch.
Mustard:
Mustard, a spice from the Brassicaceae family, is known for its pungent taste. Due to the isothiocyanates it contains, it possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties and supports digestion. It is also rich in selenium and magnesium. Research on its potential anticancer effects is ongoing. It pairs perfectly with red meats, chicken, fish, sandwiches, salad dressings, and pickles.
Granulated Sugar:
Granulated sugar is one of the body's primary energy sources. It provides rapid glucose for the brain and muscles, meeting immediate energy demands. It can quickly help stabilize energy levels after intense physical activity or when feeling fatigued. Additionally, it may contribute to short-term serotonin release, which can improve mood. It is commonly used as a flavor balancer in numerous recipes, including coffee, tea, desserts, and fruit salads.
Fine Salt:
Fine salt is crucial for maintaining the body's vital electrolyte balance, playing a key role in nerve transmission and muscle functions. It supports cellular hydration and contributes to stomach acid production, aiding nutrient absorption. Consumed in moderation, it's essential for sustaining overall bodily functions. As a fundamental seasoning in almost all cuisines, it deepens the flavor of dishes from vegetables to meats, soups to salads, and enhances the aroma of other spices. It pairs wonderfully with black pepper, oregano, and garlic.
White Pepper:
White pepper is a spice obtained by removing the outer shell of mature black peppercorns, resulting in a more delicate yet pungent aroma. It has digestive-supporting and carminative properties, stimulating the secretion of stomach enzymes. Thanks to the piperine it contains, it can exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It also plays a role in increasing nutrient absorption. It pairs perfectly with white meats (chicken, fish), cream sauces, potato dishes, and light-colored soups. It is also known to relieve stomach discomforts and soothe respiratory passages.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar, a fermented food rich in probiotics and beneficial acids, supports gut health by stimulating digestive enzymes. It can help regulate post-meal blood sugar levels and offers natural antiseptic benefits. Excellent as a salad dressing, a flavor enhancer in marinades or pickles, or diluted with water and honey for consumption.
