Tomatoes with Mayonnaise

Raw tomatoes, peeled and sliced, are delicious with mayonnaise, which is made by mixing gradually three parts of oil and one of vinegar with the yolk of an egg, and adding a seasoning of salt and pepper. Mustard may also be added if liked. The egg and seasoning are put in the bottom of a bowl with a small quantity of vinegar and mixed to a smooth cream; the oil and vinegar are then added alternately, a few drops at a time, until the desired quantity of mayonnaise is obtained. It must be kept in a cool place until wanted.
