The best homemade mayonnaise recipe that's perfectly tangy and just right anywhere you want to use it.
In a blender add the egg yolk, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and vinegar. Blend briefly in the food processor, blender, or with a whisk to combine. If using a whisk, see note 1.
With the blender running or while whisking rapidly, slowly add the oil just a few drops at a time until the mixture starts to thicken. If you have a food processor with the small hole in the food chute you can add the oil all at once and it will drip in.
Pour in the oil in a steady stream and blend until the mayo reaches a spreadable thickness--1 to 2 minutes at the most. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
