Homemade Mayonnaise Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

yolk of 1 egg
1 c. olive oil
2 to 3 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. paprika
pinch of dry mustard

Preparation

Beat the yolk in a mixing bowl, adding some olive oil drop by drop. When mixture begins to thicken, alternately add a few drops of lemon juice and a few drops more of olive oil until the desired consistency is obtained. Lemon juice thins the dressing and olive oil thickens it. If more lemon juice is added, oil must also be added, as the dressing must be stiff when ready to use. Refrigerate. Use within 2 to 3 days.
