The secrets of making homemade mayonnaise:

• All ingredients should be at room temperature.
• If you add a little more oil than specified in the recipe, the mayonnaise will be thicker.
• If you use homemade eggs, the mayonnaise will have a deep yellow color.

• It is not recommended to cook mayonnaise with olive oil only – it will be bitter. In this case, it is best to use sunflower and olive oil in equal proportions.
• To diversify the taste of mayonnaise, you can add chopped garlic, paprika, or dill.
