How would you adapt this recipe so it doesn't have raw egg?

Lazy me would leave the egg out, and just not expect a nicely emulsified dressing. Any other suggestions?

I'd replace the egg yolk and at least part of the olive oil with a commercial (ie pasteurized) mayo. It won't be quite as tasty, but will probably taste closer to the original recipe than other subs.

Dipping the egg in boiling water will kill pathogens on the surface, but will not kill salmonella inside the egg. Only hard cooking the egg will do that.

I'd be tempted to see what would happen if you used a cooked egg yolk in the recipe, though.

plenty of egg-free recipes on the interwebs for this.

just make a mash-up version.

Pasteurized egg?

[Alan408]

Replace with mayonnaise, start w/ about 1T mayo per yolk.

Wait, you do realize mayo contains ... egg yolk, right?

The linked recipe is essentially a spicy mayo.

Sub for "raw egg" ?

[ipsedixit]

Mayo contains "raw egg".

[relizabeth]

Yah, but isn't commercial mayo pasturized? I have a compromised immune system at the moment, so I am taking precautions.

[ipsedixit]

You have 3 options essentially to sub out the raw yolk.

1. Tahini (which was suggested)
2. Plain or vanilla yogurt (regular not Greek)
3. Olive oil with some corn starch mixed in.

To me, it's weird to use mayo to make mayo.

vanilla yogurt

if you dip the egg in boiling water for 1 min it makes it safe and it works the same as a raw egg. It's hard to imitate the silky creaminess that raw egg brings. Tahini can help if you really don't want egg.

This method is not reliable:

"Can shell eggs be pasteurized?
Shell eggs can be pasteurized by a processor if FDA accepted the process for the destruction of Salmonella. Pasteurized shell eggs are now available at some grocery stores. Like all eggs, they must be kept refrigerated to retain quality. The equipment to pasteurize shell eggs isn't available for home use, and it is very difficult to pasteurize shell eggs at home without cooking the contents of the egg."
