Karen,

The directions call for 1/4 cup water, which isn't in the ingredients.

I started making this, without the water, and it was liquid enough by far.

Does it mention why the water's needed -- Oh!

I am using MoriNu lite tofu. That's not a firm, but with all that olive

oil...

 

Speaking of that, I didn't have two kinds of olive oil, but I do have that

delicious and fragrant rosemary oil, so I used some of that in this. I was

trying to make a potato salad (which I've never made) and was concerned it

was going to be boring.

 

Not with this delicious Mayonnaise!!!

Thanks for the recipe,

Christine

Christine:

 

For some reason, Deborah Madison *never* lists water as an ingredient in the

ingredient

lists of any of her recipes. I guess she figures everyone has it. I like to

have all my

ingredients listed so I can have them all out and ready -- just a minor

irritation.

 

Nope, it doesn't mention anything else about the water or why it's needed.
