Homemade Low-Calorie Olive Oil Mayonnaise 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup evaporated whole milk 1 teaspoon honey 1 large egg 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup virgin olive oil This recipe isn't hard but the first time you prepare it, it may seem tedious.  After you've made it several times you'll find that it goes together quite quickly and takes little effort on the part of the cook. Start with a 2-quart saucepan.  Choose one that doesn't burn easily.  Measure the cornstarch, salt, dry mustard and cayenne into the pot.  Mix with a fork to blend.  Stir in the evaporated milk, honey and egg.  Cook and stir the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil.  Stir frequently and keep an eye on it because it will boil before you expect.  When the mixture boils whisk it briskly to cream out any lumps.  The dressing will be very thick.  Remove the pan from the heat. Measure the lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil into the pot with the warm dressing.  Using electric beaters, or a whisk and sturdy arm, beat the mixture smooth.  Pour the dressing into a pint-sized jar.  Lay a small piece of plastic wrap directly atop of the mayonnaise.  Make sure it touches the entire surface.  Screw the lid lightly onto the jar and place it in the refrigerator.  When the mixture has cooled sufficiently you may remove and discard the plastic wrap.  Hot milk mixtures tend to form a skin on top as they cool.  Covering the surface with plastic wrap prevents that skin from forming.  This mayonnaise will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.  It may be used anywhere you would normally use mayonnaise.  Most store-bought versions of light-mayonnaise have questionable ingredients added to them for thickening and preservation. This version tastes much better than most brands of store-bought light mayonnaise. It is less expensive and makes use of healthy olive oil instead of low quality vegetable oils that have been extracted with solvents and other chemicals.  It's a wholesome alternative to manufactured light mayonnaise.  This recipe and store-bought light mayonnaise are completely interchangeable. Evaporated whole milk is used to prepare this mayonnaise because it gives the finished product the richness it needs to stand up to meat or pasta salads.  It's also the least likely to curdle when you add the vinegar and lemon juice which makes things easier on the cook.
