In a blender cup, add the egg, lemon juice and salt.
Blend all ingredients for a few seconds, until completely incorporated.
Next, start adding the olive oil little by little while continuing to blend with the mixer. It is important that the oil is incorporated slowly and steadily so that the mayonnaise emulsifies properly.
Once the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency, it is ready. Set aside.

Observations

What type of olive oil to use for this recipe?
It is recommended to use mild olive oil, as it has a more neutral flavor and allows the flavor of the other ingredients to stand out.

Is it necessary to use a blender to prepare the mayonnaise?
No, although a blender facilitates the emulsifying process, you can also prepare the mayonnaise with an electric or manual whisk. The key is to add the oil little by little.

Can I add other ingredients to homemade olive oil mayonnaise?
Sure! You can customize your mayonnaise by adding herbs, spices, garlic, mustard or vinegar to create different flavors and adapt it to your favorite dishes.

What can I do if my mayonnaise cuts or separates?
If your mayonnaise is cut, don't throw it away. You can fix it by adding a tablespoon of hot water or vinegar to the mixture and blending again until it emulsifies. Another option is to start over with an egg yolk in a clean bowl and gradually add the cut mayonnaise while whisking.

How long can I keep my homemade mayonnaise?
Homemade olive oil mayonnaise should be kept refrigerated in an airtight container and consumed within two days of preparation, due to the presence of raw egg, it is important not to exceed this recommended time period.
