Nutritional Information





PREPARATION
In small food processor or container of an immersion blender, combine garlic, anchovies, egg yolk and mustard. With machine running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and process until mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
With machine still running, slowly add remaining olive oil, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon very hot water. (A small splash from the kettle or tap is the right amount.) Process just until mixture reaches a loose mayonnaise consistency. If it curdles or becomes too thick, mix in more hot water a little at a time, pulsing machine so as not to overmix. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, salt or pepper. Serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle over salad, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Best served fresh, but keeps 2 days.
