I used Lemon Balsamic vinegar in addition to lemon juice to make a really cool version for Lemon Pepper chicken salad... the ratio's of egg to oil are really key... tried to make it from memory... got it wrong... ended up with a mess... I has able to save it... but this is on a post it on my fridge until I memorize it... no more store supplied preservative / sugar heavy mayo for us this summer!

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.

First mayonnaise recipe I've found that is both really easy AND turns out correctly every time. Thank you Alton!
