Ingredients

4 large egg yolks
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon honey, optional
1 ½ cups 360 ml vegetable oil [or neutral-flavored oil]
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade. Place egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, honey, salt and pepper into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
Start the machine and process for 10-15 seconds. Then, slowly add the oil through the inside of the Small Food Pusher (there is a small emulsion hole that allows oil to flow slowly into the bowl.) This emulsifying process should take approximately 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. Once all of the oil has been incorporated, allow to process for an additional 5 seconds.

Chef's Note

For some flavoring options, try adding 1/2 an avocado, 4-6 cloves of roasted garlic, or 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce or harissa.
Emulsifying can be a tricky process. To help make a successful emulsion, make sure to pour your oil very slowly, especially for the first 1/2 cup of oil you are pouring - this will allow the eggs time to bind with the fat.
