Belgian Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy, tangy, and unctuous sauce that is perfect for pairing with fries or chips. It is a simple, yet classic, recipe that has been enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds for generations. The combination of egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and oil creates a velvety texture that is satisfying and indulgent. Homemade mayonnaise is always better than store-bought because you can customize the seasoning to your taste and guarantee the quality of the ingredients used.

Instructions

1.	Combine the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cold water in a mixing bowl.
2.	Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture on low speed for a few seconds until everything is combined.
3.	Slowly pour in the salad oil, a little at a time, while continuously blending the mixture.
4.	Once everything has been combined, blend the mayonnaise on high speed for a few seconds to ensure it is smooth and fully emulsified.
5.	Season it with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer it to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for up to a week.

PROS

Homemade mayonnaise is creamy, rich, and flavorful, elevating the taste and experience of your favorite dunking sauce for fries!
It is free from preservatives and additives found in commercial mayo, making it healthier than its store-bought counterpart.
