Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups canola oil

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

  • Coarse salt

  • Juice of 1 lime

Directions

  1. Combine oils in a glass measuring cup. Place eggs, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until mixture is foamy and pale, about 1 1/2 minutes.

  2. With machine running, add oil, drop by drop, through feed tube, until mixutre starts to thicken; do not stop machine at this point or mayonnaise may not come together. Add remaining oil in a slow, steady stream. When all oil has been incorporated, slowly add lime juice. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
