Basil-Lime Mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely sliced fresh basil leaves
- In a food processor, pulse the egg with the salt and pepper until foamy and pale, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- With the machine running, add the oil through the feed tube, 1 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 the lime juice, mixing until combined.
- Add the basil; pulse until combined.
- Let chill before serving.
- Fresh mayonnaise can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.
