Basic Blender Mayonnaise (With Additional Recipes)

Tisme's Note:

I found this in the paper, and would really like to try this over summer. This is a time saving way of making mayonnaise and the recipe states -- Extra Virgin Olive Oil is too strong to use. A better choice is regular Olive Oil or Grapeseed Oil. This recipe also lists a few alternative uses for the mayonnaise. The mayonnaise can be used for salads making into dips or spread on sandwiches. Or wherever your imagination may take you!
