Homemade mayonnaise with olive oil Preparation time: 6 minutes Ingredients (serves 4): 1 egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 3.5 fl oz/100 ml extra virgin olive oil, salt to taste.

I made my first homemade mayonnaise this week and found that it was easier than expected. ... I choose to use half olive oil and canola because they are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
