Mayonnaise Dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cup oil
- 4 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Seperate the eggs and add the yolks to the dry ingredients. Beat. To this mixture, add a few small drops of oil and continue to beat. Add a drop of the vinegar or lemon juice, a few more drops of oil, and beat constantly. Gradually increase the quantity of oil added each time, but do not do this rapidly. As the oil is added and the beating is continued, it will be noted that the mixture grows thicker, but when vinegar is added the mixture is thinned. The quantity of vinegar is so much less than that of oil that the oil may be added in small amounts or three times in succession before vinegar is added.
