Ingredients

Makes 1 cup

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Salt
  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

  1. Wrap the outside and bottom of a 1-quart bowl in a damp towel to secure it in place on the work surface. Combine egg and salt with a large balloon whisk, mixing until foamy and pale. Whisking constantly, add oils a few drops at a time, and then in a steady stream as the mixture emulsifies. Add lemon juice; blend briefly. Add additional salt and lemon juice to taste. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
