Homemade Mayonaisse
from the kitchen of Sharmagne Leland-St. John

Fresh herbs, optional

Place the egg, mustard, vinegar and salt into a
blender or small bowl of your food processor. Pulse
or process quickly. Scrape sides of canister or bowl.
Turn on to blend and add the oil one drop at a time
until it begins to emulsify. Approximately ¼ cup.

Continue to add the oil until your mayonnaise is
light an fluffy. Taste for seasoning and add
