It's the little things in life that sometimes gives us great joy! I just made a batch of homemade mayo.....OMG! I don't think I'll ever buy store-bought again!

HOMEMADE MAYO

1 egg (you want to use a high-quality, organic egg for best results)

Juice of half a lemon

¼ teaspoon stone-ground mustard

½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper

1-tablespoon sugar (optional)

1 cup of 100% olive oil (not extra-virgin)

Tools needed:

4 to 6 cup glass measuring cup

Immersion Blender

Place first 5 ingredients into a deep, glass measuring cup, and then add the olive oil.  Blend for 1 to 2 minutes with the immersion blender.  Remove the immersion blender and use a wire wisk to finish blending all the ingredients very well.  This will change the way your sandwich, chicken salad, tuna salad-- and any other salad you make with mayo-- will taste!  Last up to 5 days in the fridge. Enjoy! J
