Instructions
Blender or Food Processor Method:
- In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine mayo or hummus, Dijon mustard, onion powder, paprika, lemon juice, honey/agave, and any optional herbs or spices. Note – It’s best to start with 1/2 cup mayo or hummus and add more after blending and tasting, if desired.
- With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies and becomes creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or sweetener. Add more mayo/hummus if you prefer a thicker texture.
- Blend again briefly to fully incorporate.
Whisk-by-Hand Method:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except olive oil.
- While whisking continuously, slowly pour in olive oil to emulsify and thicken.
- Adjust seasonings and consistency as needed.
Notes
Storage- Store in an airtight container or glass jar in the fridge for up to 7 days. Stir before using if it separates slightly.
Texture tip – For a thinner consistency, add more oil.
