How do you make your mayo, and do you make a good ranch dressing? Two things we run out of all the time.
Mayo is simply an emulsion.
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
3/4 cup canola oil, or grape seed oil divided. You could even use EVOO for more flavor.
Whisk the first 4 ingredients and pour into a blender. Pour oil VERY SLOWLY while blending, until the desired consistency is reached.
Ranch.
½ cup mayonnaise
¾ cup sour cream
¾ cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp chopped parsley
2 tsp chopped chives
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ chopped scallion
1 tsp mustard
1. Add all ingredients with about half of the buttermilk to a blender. Puree for about 10 seconds to combine. Check the consistency and add additional buttermilk a couple tablespoons at a time if you desire a thinner dressing.
If people would make their own dressings, they'd never buy Seven Seas, again. All you need for a vinaigrette, is an acid(lemon juice, vinegar, etc.)and a fat(canola, grape seed, or EVOO) I like to take a garlic clove, crush it in a metal bowl with a fork and some salt(about 1/2 tsp) whisk in lemon juice and whisk in the oil. Add parsley and salad greens, toss.
Awesome.
