Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup finely sliced fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse egg with salt and pepper until foamy and pale, about 1 1/2 minutes. With the machine running, add the oil through the feed tube, a drop at a time, until the mixture starts to thicken (do not stop the machine at this point or the mayonnaise may not come together). Add the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream.
  • When all the oil has been incorporated, slowly add lime juice, mixing until combined. Add basil; pulse until combined. Let chill before serving.
