This was very easy and quite nice, I used ordinary dry mustard not Chinese, also used white wine vinegar instead of the lemon juice. I loved the cayenne pepper in this recipe. The only thing I might change next time is half the salt. Thank you for sharing this recipe I love the taste of real mayonaise.
