Chill & Store

  • Label jar with date it was made. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Mayonnaise will keep for 1 month.

Notes

Notes:
  • If your mayo turns out thin, it usually means the oil was added too quickly — chill it for 15 minutes or blend a little longer.
  • Add extra herbs, garlic, or dill to change up the flavor.
  • For a twist, stir in garlic and lemon juice for a quick aioli-style dip.
  • Store in a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
