Homemade mayo?
If you wish you can make homemade mayonnaise as well. Just combine egg yolk and oil, with 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar, and add a little bit of mustard. Mixing these ingredients will create this magical condiment which goes well with hundreds of dishes. The mayo you buy from the grocery store mostly has soy oil in it but you can use other types of oil as well such as avocado oil or olive oil. If you use raw eggs to make homemade mayonnaise you may want to pasteurize them before making mayonnaise. This is an efficient way to kill off dangerous bacteria such as salmonella. It is also important to store the homemade mayonnaise properly in the fridge otherwise it can spoil quickly. Commercial mayo should be discarded if it's not finished in two months after opening. If you buy mayo from the store you don't have to worry about harmful bacteria because pasteurized eggs are used in the commercial ones.
