Let’s make Mayonnaise with a blender together, why buy it when you can easily make it at home? That way we’ll have the assurance of a product without preservatives and thickeners. You might say it takes time, and what if it doesn’t thicken? But it’s the simplest thing there is; make it once, and you’ll make it forever. To prepare mayonnaise, a very important thing is that all the ingredients are at room temperature. Therefore, you need to take the eggs out of the fridge a little before starting, so that they will thicken better. If possible, use eggs whose origin is known or organic ones. The oil should be seed oil, preferably corn, do not use olive oil as it would leave a too strong taste. As for the utensils to use, I find the immersion blender and the tall glass very effective. The important thing is that during the operation the container stays still, otherwise the mayonnaise might curdle. To do this, you can place a wet cloth under the container.

Steps
Pour the whole egg, corn oil, lemon juice, and salt into a bowl or the blender’s glass. Everything must be at room temperature. Start blending, keeping the blender steady. You’ll hear from the sound and see from the texture that the mayonnaise is forming and becoming thicker. At this point, you can move the blender to ensure everything blends well. Continue blending until the mayonnaise appears thick and steady.
Continue blending until the mayonnaise appears thick and steady. To give a “light” touch to the mayonnaise, I add whole yogurt at the end, try it and taste the difference. Like all preparations with raw eggs, it can stay in the fridge only a few days sealed with plastic wrap.
Storage
The Blender Mayonnaise should be stored in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, and consumed within 2-3 days
