Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Clove of garlic
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsps Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 3/4 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 Cup of Vegetable Oil
- 4 Anchovies (Optional)
Instructions
In a blender combine all the ingredients except oil and anchovies (optional). Blend until smooth.
Add the oil gradually with the blender running until fully incorporated in a mayonnaise consistency. It is best to pour the oil into the mixture in a steady stream.
Break the Anchovies into small pieces and fold into the dressing. Check for taste and add salt and pepper as needed. If you use anchovies you will need less salt or no salt.
Over time you will slightly alter the mix of ingredients until you find the taste that is right for you.
