2 to 3 tablespoonfuls red-wine vinegar.

Method

Beat the cheese to a cream; then gradually beat in the oil, vinegar, etc. The uncooked yolk of an egg is sometimes beaten into the cheese, before the oil, and thick cream may replace part of the oil. Curdled Mayonnaise.

Occasionally a mayonnaise will assume a curdled appearance; under such circumstances, often the addition of a very little of white of egg or a few drops of lemon juice, with thorough beating, will cause the sauce to resume its former smoothness. In case it does not become smooth, put the yolk of an egg into a cold bowl, beat well, and add to it the curdled mixture, a little at a time.
