Some people don’t mind the taste of canola oil while others can’t stand it.

A neutral flavored oil is a generally safe bet.

No, you can also use distilled white vinegar, lemon juice, unseasoned rice vinegar, or red wine vinegar.

The point is to have the acidity to help stabilize the mayonnaise.

So, while eggs are an animal product, they are not dairy. In fact, eggs fall under the protein food group.

How to tell if your eggs are still good

Fill a glass with cool water and submerge the eggs.

If the eggs sink to the bottom and lay flat on their side, they’re still fresh.

If they sink, but stand on one end at the bottom of the glass, the eggs are not as fresh but still good.

An egg that floats to the top is likely spoiled.
