Beetroot Mayonnaise Recipe

This is a quick and easy foolproof recipe for home made mayonnaise. You can adjust the quantity keeping in mind that the ratio is one egg to 250ml of oil.

Ingredients:
Two large fresh eggs at room temperature
One tablespoon of wholegrain mustard
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper
500ml of canola oil
two small cooked beetroots
Method: Combine the eggs, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper in a blender and blend really well on high speed for one minute. Start adding the oil in a steady stream. The liquid will start thickening instantly. As soon as all the oil is in the mixture add the beetroot and blend until smooth.

Arrange all the ingredients for the salad on a flat board or large salad platter, garnish with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and fill the rolled cucumber with the beetroot mayonnaise.
