Its fat to acid ratio is 24:1, higher than 72% of the catalog’s egg emulsions (median 16:1), a richer mix for the category.

The acid here is lemon juice. In this category chefs also reach for white wine vinegar (19 recipes), red wine vinegar (9), and lime juice (9).

The fat here is olive oil. In this category chefs also reach for grapeseed oil (16 recipes) and vegetable oil (15).

FAQ

Can this go in a shake jar?

No. This one needs a blender or stove, so make it from this page. Jars only carry pour-and-shake sauces. Its companion jar is below.

What do the quantities mean?

This page lists the published recipe in household units (with metric in parentheses). On a jar, the printed lines, counts, and QR guide carry the jar-batch amounts. Follow the jar or this page, not a mix of both. Amounts in the jar’s ADD row are rounded to the nearest common spoon measure (T = tablespoon, t = teaspoon) so they can be read off the glass.

Where did this recipe come from?

Adapted from Bouchon gribiche family (distinct from existing gribiche) (published as “Sauce Gribiche-Adjacent Herb Mayo”). Full citation lives in Provenance.

What if it separates?

Oil and acid emulsions can separate in the fridge; that's the fat solidifying, not spoilage. Cap the jar and shake, or let it sit at room temperature a few minutes first, then shake again.
