1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

- In a blender or food processor, blend the egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon mustard, and salt until smooth.
- With the motor running, drizzle in the oil in a very slow stream until the mayonnaise is thick.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl and stir in the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon mustard, and all remaining ingredients.

- When the egg mixture has cooled to room temperature, blend it in the blender with the mustard and salt and add the oil slowly (as above).
