Justin Jordan
This recipe doesn’t make Mayo…way too much lemon juice and leaves your sauce runny.
Jill Price
How long does this last in the fridge?
James Daniels
I’ve never made mayo before.   I may never buy commercial mayo again.

So yummy and easy.

What does “avoid splitting “mean in step 1?
Lynn Garcia
This is the best mayonnaise recipe I have found I do everything by the book except for adding a half a teaspoon or so of horseradish!
Dennis Williams
Very tasty. Easy to make and it’s nice to have this recipe where there’s no preservatives. I might 1/2 it next time because we don’t use a lot of mayo.
