Origin of the recipe

This homemade mayonnaise is a modern take on classic emulsified dressings, combining universal ingredients to create a versatile dish. While not tied to a specific region, its base—egg, butter, and yogurt—reflects global sauce-making traditions. Slowly whisking in the butter while whisking ensures a stable emulsion, like traditional mayonnaise, but with a lighter texture thanks to the yogurt.

Cooking tips

All ingredients should be at room temperature.

Use a fresh egg for better emulsion and sauce stability.

For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of black pepper during cooking.

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to 3 days.

If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a spoon of water to achieve the desired texture.

Use only odorless vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil) so as not to overpower the flavor of the sauce.

Stir the sauce before serving to maintain consistency and rich flavor.
