Ingredients

1 egg, room temperature 

1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 

Preparation

In a blender, combine egg with about 1 teaspoon of oil and salt. Blend at lowest speed.

With blender still running, add remaining oil in a slow, steady stream until it is incorporated. If you prefer a thicker mayonnaise, blend for an additional 10 seconds at a higher speed.

Transfer mayonnaise to a bowl, and stir in vinegar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 days.
