Homemade Mayonaisse

This stuff is great!

3 egg yolks, beaten
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 C. canola oil
salt to taste

beat egg yolks. Add lemon juice and salt. While beating (with electric beaters), VERY slowly drizzle the oil in. As the mixture begins to thicken, continue adding the oil and beating constantly until all the oil is incorporated. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit of water and beat it in until soft and fluffy.

Store in air-tight container and refridgerate.

variations:

-substitute 1/4 cup of the oil with Olive oil
-Add 1 tsp of yellow mustard, or deli mustard
-Miracle Whip: Add 1 Tbsp. white vinegar for the lemon juice, and 2 tsp sugar
