Oh I agree! Nothing tastes like homemade mayonnaise. Or homemade salad dressing. Or BBQ sauce.
If you are having a cookout or people over for BBQ burgers, try:
Garlic Mayonnaise
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp. dijon mustard
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, not canned, jarred
1 tsp. fresh garlic clove pressed through a garlic press
3/4c vegetable oil
1 tbls. water
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
In food processor process yolks, mustard, lemon juice and garlic about 10 seconds. While machine runs, drizzle in vegetable oil through the top chute thing and process for about 1 min. Transfer to a bowl, whisk in water, then olive oil for about 30 seconds. I guess you can use an immersion blender for this, I've never tried. Then whisk in salt and pepper or to taste.
I make this for when we have people over so it gets used up quickly. It makes about 1 1/4 cup and keeps refrigerated for 5 days. Otherwise, the little we would use, most would go to waste. Then I'd have to find excuses to eat mayonnaise, and that's just not good.
