While processing, pour in the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream. Use a spatula if necessary to scrape mixture down occasionally.

Herbs or spices may be added to vary taste; grated lemon peel, parsley, celery seed, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, French tarragon, and minced shallot or garlic are all good choices! It all depends upon what you're planning to serve it with. For example: Lemon and parsley (and even a little Old Bay) go well with lobster or crabmeat salad or other fish dishes.

Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
