Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 5 tsp white Vinegar
- 4 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt "scant" 1/2 tsp!
- 1/4 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
- 1 pinch each of paprika and garlic powder
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and lemon juice. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Takes a couple minutes.
- Lightly whip the egg with a fork, then add the egg to the vinegar mixture. Whisk until well combined.
- Slowly, a few drops at a time, start whisking in the oil. Just keep whisking and dropping in the oil.
- The oil will gradually start to emulsify and thicken, so keep on adding the oil and whisk!
- By the time you have whisked in about 1/2 of the oil, the mixture should be thick and creamy. Stir in the dry mustard powder, paprika and garlic powder.
- You may start adding the oil a little bit faster now but do not stop whisking!
- By now, the mixture should be pudding thick. Keep going, you're doing great!
- Drizzle in that last little bit of oil and whisk away. It should now be the consistency of mayonnaise.
- Bam! You're done! Congratulations, you have just created the best whipped salad dressing ever. Ten minutes of whisking to create a cup full of deliciousness.
- Spoon into a jar, cover and refrigerate. Remember there are no preservatives so use within 7-10 days.
