Make your own mayonnaise and you’ll never go back to the jar!

Salad
1 onion, chopped on  variable speed 3
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and 2 celery stalks, chopped on variable speed 5
2 pounds of potatoes, boiled, cooled, and cubed; approximately 8 potatoes

Mayonnaise
1 egg
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil

Place all ingredient in the wet container except olive oil. Turn on variable speed 1, increase to 10, then switch to high. Slowly add the olive oil through the lid while the blades are still moving. When all olive oil is incorporated, remove from base and then pour over the rest of the ingredients. Let sit for at least an hour for the flavors to blend.

Enjoy!
