Steps

Done

Coarsely chop the dill. Add the vegetable oil into a blender, add dill and pulse until smooth.
Then filter the oil through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to separate the large pieces of dill. You should have a smooth, green oil.

Done

Make mayonnaise using classical technology.
First, beat the yolk with mustard and a pinch of salt, then, continuing to beat, add a little green butter. When the mixture is tight, you can add oil in a constant thin stream.
When all the oil is added, you should get a light green mayonnaise with a dense texture. Add lemon juice and a little more salt, mix. The mayonnaise should lighten a little and the texture should be lighter. Now add a teaspoon of cold water to bring the mayonnaise to the desired light consistency. Stir it in with a mixer.
Mayonnaise is done. Keep in the fridge for up to several days.
