Mayonnaise
Posted by Julia Smith on
It's one of those condiments that gets used in almost everything, but did you know how easy it is to make? If you're concerned about where the eggs are coming from in your mayo (and you should be), bypass the store-bought variety and make it yourself! And if you really want to go the extra mile, add some flavours to it and make aioli, your sandwiches and fries will thank you for it. And so will the chickens.

- 1 large Pasture Raised Egg Yolk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
