How to prepare the yogurt mayonnaise recipe
First prepare the mayonnaise. Place the whole egg, oil, lemon juice (or vinegar) and a pinch of salt in the bowl of the immersion blender.
Blend for 10 seconds without moving the mixer then continue with movements from top to bottom to incorporate air. As soon as it is assembled, stop. Let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
At this point add the Greek yogurt, mixing with a spoon until it is incorporated. Your mayonnaise is ready to be enjoyed.
This basic version can be flavored by adding a teaspoon of mustard . We preferred to keep it with a more neutral taste.
