1
Place the egg yolks, vinegar, and mustard in a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, until pale and creamy. (Or whisk by hand.)
2
With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil through the feed tube in a thin, steady stream, processing until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. (If making by hand, dribble in the oil.)
3
Add the lemon juice and pulse briefly (or stir) to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

The mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator.

Variations: Substitute 3 tbsp of a flavored oil (hazelnut, walnut, basil or lemon) for an equal amount of the olive oil. Or stir Chinese chile paste, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crushed garlic, or chopped fresh herbs into the finished mayonnaise to taste.
