Method
 

Making the Mayonnaise
  1. In a mixing bowl, add the large egg, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and fine sea salt. Give it a gentle whisk until everything blends smoothly.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the safflower oil while whisking continuously until the mixture emulsifies, turns creamy, and thickens—about 1-2 minutes.
  3. If using, whisk in the fresh lemon juice until perfectly combined.
