This mayo is delicious. True, Hellman's is pretty close. However, the homemade stuff tastes so much fresher and elegant. You get a nice little zip of lemon. It's wonderful. I don't think I would make this every week, but definitely if I needed a cup of mayo for a potato salad or something. Or to impress the in-laws.

And even better if you get all experimental with the oil. I used 1/4 toasted sesame oil. Gave it a real nice flavor.

This seems like an awful lot of vinegar/lemon. The first time I made this it was fine. The second time it seemed like all I could taste was tang. I think next I will cut it in half.

This gives a pretty good mayonnaise, but I agree with other reviewers that the recipe has far too much vinegar. I used 1 tsp of vinegar and 4 tsp of lemon juice, and it came out just right. Adding half the lemon juice/vinegar at the beginning and half midway through gives you a good chance to taste and correct the flavor mid-way though. Just make sure that you have 5 tsp of vinegar and citrus juice total, and it should set. Any more or less, and it will be soupy. Also, I used a hand mixer. My first attempt with a wisk didn't set.

Best mayonnaise I've ever eaten. I used the safflower oil. It was a bit hard on the arm having to whisk by hand, but it was worth it. Now I need a food processor and some home grown tomatoes!

This is a fantastic recipe. It's incredibly flexible, too... add some wasabi powder, or olive oil, or chili oil, or really anything to experiment with the flavor!

We still buy jarred mayonnaise from time to time, but I always make homemade when it matters!

I followed the directions very closely, and the consistency was fine, everything looked good, until I was completed and tasted it. It tastes like corn oil. I'm not sure why this type of oil would be suggested since it has a distinct flavor that was awful. Threw it all out, therefore the 1 star.

I cannot tell you how excited & thrilled I am to be able to whip up my own, FRESH, mayo dressing! I cannot believe how easy it is. I can't wait to explore different flavors/spices with this recipe. I've been on this kick of not buying processed salad dressings & just making my own. To all you people like me, there are some wonderful, EASY, dressings that you can make, that you know don't have some sort of chemical preservative in it. Now that I know how to make homemade mayo dressing - well that just makes my dressing horizons much bigger & for sure more healthy! That being said, I did cut back on the salt by one half because it's my experience that it's always easier to add spices than to take away and my pallet likes this receipe using half the salt, but that's just my taste. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly as outlined. Oh and one other note, definitely pour the oil in small doses until you get to the end...Enjoy! All the best to fellow cooks across America/the world.
