Okay, now before you skip this post and think that you are not going to be able to do this, hold on! I had never done this before and thought I would give it a go. It took all of 10 minutes and was super easy!
2 egg yolks
3 tsp lemon juice
1 cup olive oil (good quality)
Salt and pepper
(Yup that's it!)
Put the yolks and 1 tsp of the lemon juice in a bowl and mix those ingredients together. I made mine in my kitchen aid which is likely why it was so easy!
Start whisking vigorously (kitchen aid on medium speed) while dripping the oil very slowly. You’re creating an emulsion and if you put too much oil in at once, it will separate and will be very hard to save. Whisk non-stop or continuously on medium to high speed in the kitchen aid. As you add more oil, the emulsion will form and the mayonnaise will start to thicken and you can pour the oil faster at this point. When all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, add the rest of the lemon juice and taste your creation. You can season to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes about 1 cup of mayo. Enjoy without guilt and store in the refrigerator!

Haha, this is basically Viet Mayo except we don't put lemon juice or pepper in it. And we do it old school with chopsticks!
