2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 egg yolk*

1 teaspoon fine grain salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Scant 2 cups safflower or corn oil (2 cups minus 2 to 3 tablespoons
2 to 3 tablespoons chile oil

Turn processor on and add oil in a steady stream until incorporated. Keep at room temperature for 2 hours. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

*RAW EGG WARNING

Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

Didn't do it for me...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I wanted to try this recipe because the prospect of spicy mayonnaise appealed to me. I subbed white vinegar for white wine... vinegar, because it was what I had. I used 2.5 tbsp of chili oil. The result had a satisfying burn to it, but the vinegar flavor was much stronger than I would like and the consistency was not what I would expect for mayonnaise. I like Alton's regular mayo recipe better, and would consider adding chili oil and lime to that, rather than use this recipe.Read more

Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just made it again last night. It works great for flavored mayonaises just by adding some ingredients after it's made to give... it a new flavor (ex. dill, tarragon, peppers, garlic)Read more

Great Mayo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just recently made this when I ran out of mayo for potato salad. I used more lemon juice and white vinegar instead of... white wine vinegar. It was really good, super easy and better than store bought mayonnaise.Read more

Comes out great every time!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This one has yet to let me down. You can even make all sorts of flavored mayos with this one - like adding garlic for an... aioli, or basil leaves for a great dipping sauce. I also like to replace 1 T. of the vinegar with something flavorful, like tarragon vinegar. Be creative! Just be careful adding additional liquids unless you are replacing some of that called for in the original recipe. Otherwise, you can add all the dry ingredients or vegetation you want.Read more
