# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The mayonnaise is so creamy you can taste the freshness in every bite.
  • Once you realize it takes less than five minutes, you may never buy a jar again.
02 -
  • If you move the blender too fast at first, the mayo won&apost emulsify—patience pays off here.
  • Room temperature ingredients truly make all the difference in texture.
03 -
  • If your mayo won&apost thicken, try blending again with an extra egg yolk.
  • Pairing with lemon juice instead of vinegar brings out mellow flavor notes.
