Olive Oil Mayonnaise

Ingredients:
  1 unit     egg yolk
1/3 cup      olive oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard
  1 pinch    salt
    unit     black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Instructions:
Put the egg yolk in a heavy bowl. Put the bowl on a damp cloth to steady
it. Whisk in a few drops of olive oil VERY SLOWLY (depending on how slowly
you add the oil, your mayonnaise might be thick or a little runny –
but still totally useable!). Keep whisking in a few drops at a time until
you have poured at least a tablespoon, then begin pouring in a slow stream
and whisking until you have incorporated all the olive oil.
Whisk in the mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Taste and adjust the
seasonings.

Description:
A healthy mayonnaise you can feel good about. A lighter olive oil produces a lighter mayonnaise; a green and fruity first-press olive oil will have a deeper, more olive-y taste.
