Mayonnaise Dressing Recipe 2
2 raw egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon mustard
3 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
2 cups olive oil or substitute
To the yolks add the seasonings, beat thoroughly, add the vinegar, or lemon juice and beat again. Add the oil gradually (drop by drop at first). The mixture should be thick and creamy. Should the mayonnaise curdle, begin with a third egg yolk, add a small quantity of oil to the egg, and then by very small quantities, add the curdled dressing. At times a dressing may be quite firm when left, only to be found curdled and disappointing when the time comes to use it. This third egg process will, however, usually restore it. Equal proportions of vinegar and lemon juice may be used. Tarragon vinegar is sometimes used instead of the ordinary kind.
