Substitutions
Vegetable Oil: You can also use canola oil, olive oil or even avocado oil!
Red Wine Vinegar: You can also use white wine vinegar.
Eggs: Necessary for this recipe. And be sure to use the freshest eggs possible for this recipe as this recipe does use raw eggs.
Thickness
If the mayonnaise is too thick add a few drops of water or if it is not thick enough, with the machine running, add a little more oil.
No Food Processor, No Problem
You can also use a bowl and a whisk! But be sure to add that oil slowly as your whisk.
Slow and Steady!
Make sure to add the oil very very slowly to emulsify it. If the mayonnaise breaks, add another yolk to the food processor. It will help to re-emulsify it.
