(from greenfood’s recipe box)

Source: Weston A. Price

Categories: dressings

Ingredients

  • xtra cod liver oil left in 3 cans of cod livers after you’ve eaten the livers
  • Olive oil – enough to create a ratio of about 3/4 of cod liver oil to a 1/4 olive oil – about 1 cup total oil
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 spoonful of dijon mustard
  • Unrefined salt to taste
  • Lemon juice to taste [recipe moderator comment: usually about 4 teaspoons to 3/4 cup of oil or so works well]

Directions

  1. In a bowl combine about a cup of oil – approximately ¾ of it left over cod liver oil from cans and ¼ olive oil.
  2. In a bowl whisk your yolks and your dijon, slowly start whisking your oil in a little at a time.*
  3. Go slow at first so you don’t break it.
  4. Once all your oil is added, add salt and lemon juice to taste.
  5. It’s a bit of a work out but it’s worth it!
  6. *Recipe moderator comment – with other mayonnaise recipes, you can use a food processor and first blend lemon juice and egg yolks, followed by very slowly adding in oil.
