Ingredients
  
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • lemon juice, 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh dill
Instructions
 
  • Combine the egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice, mustard powder, and salt in a food processor for about 30 seconds.
  • With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil. It will take 1-2 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency, so take time and add the olive oil little by little.
  • Add the dill and process for another 30 seconds.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Cold ingredients can make it more challenging to achieve a proper emulsion.
  • When combining the oil with the other ingredients, add it gradually and in a slow, steady stream while the food processor is running; the gradual addition helps to achieve a stable emulsion (the two liquids combine and don't separate).
