Make your own mayonnaise; it's mostly just eggs and oil, and homemade tastes better than store-bought.

To complete this How-To you will need:

2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1 tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp. Dijon or yellow mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. olive oil, not extra virgin
1 c. canola oil
Food processor
Herbs
Spices
Horseradish
Onions
Garlic
Capers
Extra lemon juice or cider vinegar

Warning: Homemade mayonnaise contains raw egg. Don't leave it at room temperature or you risk a salmonella infection.

Step 1: Blend ingredients

Put all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor and mix or whisk by hand until creamy.

Tip: Customize your mayo with fresh herbs, spices, horseradish, onions, garlic, capers, or anything else you'd like.

Step 2: Add the oil

Whisking continuously, or with the food processor running, begin incorporating oil, just a few drops or two at a time, waiting 30 seconds after the first couple of additions of oil, then pouring it in a very slow stream. As you get to the end of the oil, check the texture; you may not need to use all the oil.

Tip: If the mayo is too thick, thin it with a little lemon juice or cider vinegar.

Step 3: Finish and chill

Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if you need to. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate. The mayo will stay good for three to five days.

Step 4: Fix it

If the mayonnaise begins to separate, which it often does while refrigerated, reconstitute it by putting an egg yolk in a bowl and slowly whisking the broken mayo into the new egg yolk, a little at a time.

I kind of wish the mayonnaise lasted longer. I didn't realize it was so perishable. Jeez, only about 3 days? Better off getting store bought :(
