I WANT TANGY MAYONNAISE

Have just made the basic home-made mayonnaise form Abigail’s recipe, but want something more tangy. What can I add to get a good result.

    What about adding some lemon juice?

    thank you Sam,
    I am still trying these combinations, and have found a very informative site regarding oils, so maybe you would like to check it out.

    I add approx 1 teaspoon of the pickling liquid of gherkins. The liquid is already infused with herbs and spices and just adds a slightly differnt taste to the normal home-made mayonnaise.

    You can use vinegar (white wine or apple cider vinegar) instead of the water at the beginning; use vinegar instead of the lemon juice at the end (taste first); and/or up the mustard component. There’s a brilliant article here – http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/jul/01/how-to-make-perfect-mayonnaise – that goes through many possible ways to make mayo, and the different ingredients.
    Now, I would like a subsitute for sunflower oil in home-made mayo! I’d prefer not to use sunflower or canola, but olive oil is too bitter.
