This versatile condiment can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated until serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon Champagne or sherry vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt

  • Pinch of freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Combine lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, paprika, egg, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor. Process just until ingredients are blended.
