Ingredients
- 1 egg, the fresher the better
- 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Kosher salt
- Large pinch of saffron
- 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

In a small food processor or with an immersion blender, blend the egg first then add the garlic, lime zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the saffron, and grapeseed oil and blend until emulsified. While blending, drizzle in the olive oil. If the consistency is much thicker than mayonnaise, add a few drops of water and blend again. Season to taste with salt and/or lime juice.
