Olive oil in mayonnaise? Many argue that olive oil should never be used to make mayo because of its bitterness. However, when done right, great-tasting olive oil mayo is possible. The key? Use an extra virgin olive oil with a mild intensity and round flavor. Here, we’ve opted for our Organic EVOO which has a mild intensity and delicate finish.

INGREDIENTS

1 / egg yolk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon / freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon / water
1 teaspoon / Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon / double concentrated tomato paste
¾-1 cup / Zucchi Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 teaspoon / minced garlic
to taste / Kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Place egg yolk, lemon juice, water, mustard, and tomato paste, in a narrow, tall container. (Make sure you use a cup or jar that is just slightly larger than the head of the immersion blender so that the egg and lemon mixture is able to touch the blades of the blender.)
Blend for 20 seconds, until the color is consistent.
While blending, slowly pour in the Organic olive oil, ¼ cup at a time, until the mixture is thick and voluminous.
Add in Italian herbs and minced garlic. Mix together with a spoon. Season, to taste, with salt.
Store olive oil mayo in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy tomato herb olive oil mayo on sandwiches, burgers, or with roasted potatoes.
