1 egg yolk
5 teaspoons white vinegar
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
pinch paprika
pinch garlic powder

1. Whisk the egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds.

2. Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Stir until salt and sugar is dissolved. Add half of this solution the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds.

3. Pour canola oil into a plastic squirt bottle or measuring cup with a spout. This will allow you to drizzle the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while whisking with the other. Dribble a few drops of oil into the yolk and whisk, and continue to add oil a little bit at a time while whisking nonstop. When you are about halfway through the oil, your mayonnaise should be very thick. Whisk in the remaining vinegar solution and add the mustard, paprika and garlic powder. Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added.

4. Put the dressing into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid. Keep up to 7 to 10 days in your refrigerator.

Makes 1 cup.

Tidbits:

If you are concerned about the raw egg yolk used in this recipe (even though the risk of salmonella poisoning from well-chilled fresh eggs is extremely low), you can buy eggs that have been heat-treated (pasteurized ) for a bit more scratch. The vinegar used in the recipe also helps kill any stray bacteria baddies.
