1

tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
(mild in flavor)

1

teaspoon dry mustard

1/8

teaspoon ground white pepper

1/8

teaspoon kosher salt

2/3

cup flavorless vegetable oil

Place egg substitute, vinegar, olive oil, dry
mustard, pepper and salt in the blender jar.
Cover blender jar. Set on Speed 12. Turn
blender on and blend for about 5 seconds.
With blender running, remove the Measured
Pour Lid, and add the vegetable oil in a
slow steady stream, taking about 30 to 40
seconds to add the oil. Hold the Measured
Pour Lid loosely over the opening to
prevent spattering. The mayonnaise will
thicken and emulsify as the oil is added,
about 30 to 40 seconds. Turn blender off.
Mayonnaise may be used immediately or
placed in an airtight, covered container and
refrigerated. Mayonnaise will thicken further
when refrigerated.
