ABOUT THIS RECIPE

Here's a zesty variation on the classic French garlic mayonnaise. If you have health concerns about making mayonnaise from raw eggs, consider this statement from the American Egg Board: "There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell." Alternatively, start with about 1 1/2 cups of good-quality bottled mayonnaise and blend into it the mustard, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and thyme.
