  2. While the food processor or hand mixer is running, SLOWLY drizzle the oil into the machine through the feed tube or bowl.

Notes

This recipe was adapted from the A Taste of Wellness Cookbook.  Thank you for this delicious, easy recipe!

You can double the recipe if you know you will need more than 1/2 cup mayo.  I prefer to make it in smaller amounts because after about 2 weeks in the fridge, it will start to separate.
