Making the Mayonnaise

  1. 1

    Start by placing the egg yolk in a jar. Make sure the jar is clean and dry.

  2. 2

    Add the horseradish apple cider vinegar and salt to the jar with the egg yolk.

  3. 3

    Whisk the mixture vigorously with a whisk or use an electric hand mixer on low speed until everything is well combined and slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Now, this is the most important part: very slowly, start adding the vegetable oil. Drizzle it in a super thin, steady stream while continuously whisking or mixing. If you add the oil too fast, the mayonnaise might not emulsify properly and could separate.

  5. 5

    Keep whisking and adding the oil until all of it is incorporated and the mixture has thickened into a creamy, pale yellow mayonnaise.

  6. 6

    Enjoy this super delicious Mayonnaise. It's simple, tasty, and brings back those good old memories!
