Ingredients of the Mayonnaise recipe

175 ml of mild olive oil
A large egg
A couple of tablespoons of lemon juice
a pinch of salt

Preparation
Mayonnaise is one of the best-known sauces in the world, used as it is or as a basis for other sauces made from it.

It is essential to prepare it taking care in its preparation, since the egg is an ingredient that can cause salmonellosis if it is not used correctly. The first thing to keep in mind is that the egg should be kept in the refrigerator and take it out just a few minutes before preparing the mayonnaise, especially in hot seasons, since the egg must be at a temperature similar to oil to emulsify them all right.

In addition, you have to be careful with the shell of the egg, which is usually a source of bacteria, taking care that the content of it does not touch it when it is cracked. With all these considerations, we are going to start preparing the mayonnaise.

We will put olive oil in the blender jar, a large fresh egg, a little salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice, which will make possible bacteria or germs that do not reproduce. We put the blender to the bottom and begin to beat at slow speed, without moving the arm, until we see that begins to emulsify the mixture. Beat a few minutes until it begins to take consistency, then begin to move slowly up and down, continuing to beat, the blender, until we have the mayonnaise ready. It is best to try it in case you have to correct the point of salt.

It is best to prepare the mayonnaise just before you need it, to take it freshly made, but in case we prepare it in advance we will keep it in a cool place, although if the ambient temperature is high, we will keep it in the refrigerator, in a closed container.

In case of not consuming it all in the day, do not keep it more than 36-48 hours maximum, this way we will avoid problems by consuming it in poor condition.
