# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • You can tweak the tang and creaminess to suit your mood, just by adjusting the lemon juice.
  • This mayo saves last-minute lunches when the fridge is nearly bare, and it impresses everyone who tastes it.
02 -
  • If you rush the blending, you risk splitting instead of creamy mayo—patience is key.
  • Using cold ingredients made my first batch stubborn, so I always warm everything to room temp now.
03 -
  • Use pasteurized eggs if you’re concerned about safety, so you can dip with confidence.
  • A splash of water at the end makes the texture lighter and creamier—try it and see.
